Would be interesting to see a list of supported languages.

Still, in 2021, YouTube doesn't autocaption Swedish. So I guess there's not much hope for my native tongue here either.

Also, can you download these generated subtitles on Chrome for desktop? And, will this be in Chromium too? Speech recognition files are downloaded and run offline. But are they be a proprietary addition only to Chrome users?

Youtube also has very different quality within the same language. For Brazilian Portuguese (easier variant to parse) recent videos are decent (if it's normal speech, not songs or fiction) but I found some from 2017 where it was garbage.
