Description
We could use an API like Cloud's speech-to-text to automatically provide captions for videos in stories, a la YouTube. We would, of course, default to publisher-specified captions if any are provided.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by determining how videos and publisher-specified captions are handled in stories, then evaluate a speech-to-text API integration. Done means story videos receive automatic captions when no publisher captions are provided, while publisher-specified captions remain the default.
