I love the hilarious youtube's subtitles. For instance (3:34): "without a student to conduct a kidney advocate" or (3:19): "registers configure troop went upstairs don't just goes up" But you should disable them by default, they are confusing! Edit: Why the downvote(s)?

Thanks, I've removed them ! I did not realize they would be on by default. I suppose the errors are due to my subtle french accent ;-)

(Hate to be that guy but) Could something like this ever be possible for PHP?

I find it curious that Google has a very good translation software but they don't pass the generated subtitles through their language models to detect when they are gibberish.

It's not your fault, but YouTube's. I just find computer generated gibberish funny.

As someone who's excited to be learning Python, seeing tools like this makes me even happier. Thanks! I have a feeling going back to PHP is going to be very difficult for me :)

Yes, I was thinking about people learning Python too when developing this. My daughter is 6 years old, and I suspect she will learn Python in a few years or even months ;-)

Their language models might perform acceptably with text, but speech is much looser with structure and grammar. They may apply a bit of local expectation-maximisation but anything more strict or long-range wouldn't work.
