For anyone working with Whisper or other ASR tools, the white paper from our grant project "Increasing Accessibility of Audiovisual Content Using Whisper" is now available on the Lyrasis repository: doi.org/10.48609/na33-1y19

Resources gathered include stats for processing times, editing times, accuracy (word error rate), and power consumption; style guide examples for caption editors; and a project workflow for caption creation and editing.

I finally tested it successfully:

"Substital" is an add-on for Firefox and Chrome that allows you to display captions / subtitles in nearly any video that you can see on a website, either by searching for it on OpenSubtitles or by loading a caption file from your device locally.

This way you can, for example, watch an old show's episode on archive.org and add a local SRT file so the video gets captions.
