Youtube call it 'automatic captioning' an it is based on speech recognition which is renowned for being unreliable and yes, it can be turned off by whoever uploaded the video, and even viewers can choose not to have it displayed whilst watching the video.https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6373554?hl=enYoutube call turning it off 'unpublishing'.There is nothing stopping anyone manually transcribing the video in the traditional way themselves though.Would this dodgy automatic transcription really be the stated reason EC have taken a dim view of the video?
