WASHINGTON (AP) - "Closed captioning of this YouTube video provided by ... Google?" It's happening. Google is introducing automatic, machine-generated captions for videos on its YouTube site. The service is being launched this week and it's designed to make online videos accessible to the deaf and hearing-impaired. There are already hundreds of thousands of videos on Google sites that contain caption tracks that users have created and added manually. But with 20 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute - most of the videos on the site still don't have captions. Google will use the speech-recognition technology it now uses for Google Voice to create the automatic captions.
