Google Drive now offers an innovative feature to automatically create subtitles for video files using advanced technology speech recognition. This feature improves content accessibility and makes it easier to find information in videos.
Subtitles in Drive
Automation for convenience
Google is introducing an innovative feature to its cloud service Drive. Users will now be able to automatically receive subtitles for downloaded video files using advanced speech recognition technology.
Account Differences
The implementation of this feature varies depending on your Google account type. Owners of personal accounts must independently initiate the process of creating subtitles after uploading a video. At the same time, for users of the corporate Google Workspace service, subtitles will be generated automatically immediately after uploading a video file, unless administrators have disabled this option.
Feature Activation Methods
Users can use two methods to create subtitles. The first way is to use the context menu: you need to right-click on the video in Drive, select the option “Manage subtitle tracks”, and then “Generate automatic subtitles”. The second option is to use the three dot menu in the upper right corner while watching a video.
Benefits of the new feature
The introduction of automatic subtitles significantly increases the accessibility of media content in Drive. Google developers emphasize that “Subtitles make it easier to search for videos based on their content, making it easier to find the file you need.”
Development prospects
At the moment, the function only supports English. However, Google plans to expand language support in the future, making this feature available to even more users around the world.

Wow cool! Now you can easily find the right moment in the video. I wonder how accurately Google will be able to recognize speech? 🤔

Yes, Isabella, it's really convenient! I often work with video and this saves a lot of time. I hope they add German language support soon.

I agree with Hans! This is great news for content creators. Wondering how this will impact video SEO on Google? 🧐

Pierre, you're right! This can have a big impact on search engine optimization. By the way, I heard that Google’s speech recognition accuracy already reaches 95%. Impressive! 👏

Eh, these newfangled things again. Why complicate things? Previously, they managed just fine without subtitles. Just waste time on it.
Amelia
Viktor, but this makes the video more accessible for people with hearing impairments! Plus, it's easier to find the information you need. Progress cannot be stopped 😊

Amelia is right! This is great for inclusivity. I work in the education sector and this feature is very useful for creating educational materials. 📚

Carlos, great idea! It will also help in learning languages. It will be possible to watch videos with subtitles in the original language. I can't wait for more languages to be added! 🌍
