Just the other day I was telling a story about the difficulties of ordering airtime in the US with a South African accent. I eventually gave up and asked for help from a friend, because the automated system couldn’t understand what I was trying to say.
Not lekker, and it appears YouTube’s closed caption feature shares that struggle.
This Is ZAfrica decided to put them to the test and see if they could handle our Parliament, and it’s pretty obvious that they’re not passing with flying colours.
I can assure YouTube it’s no less frustrating when you actually do understand what’s being said.
