In the digital landscape, where multimedia content prevails, subtitling and speech recognition play vital roles in facilitating effective communication. This study investigates the perceptual contrast between human-crafted subtitles and those generated via speech recognition on YouTube. With a hypothesis favoring human-authored subtitles, the research examines 30 subtitle lines from videos, comparing manual and automatic subtitling. Evaluation entails WER (Word Error Rate) and TER (Translation Edit Rate) scores for automated assessment and human evaluators utilizing the NER (Number, Edition and Recognition Error) score. Findings emphasize the necessity of robust technological advancements to enhance user experiences and ensure broad accessibility to diverse content.
