For this one show (John Oliver) I download, I always get ALL CAPS and poorly synced subtitles. The text seems OK, but it’s barely usable because very off-sync. I’m curious: where do these subs come from?

    if it’s a tv show it could be that they come from the tv signal, those usually are all caps and poorly synced because it’s tech from the 80s

      This, right here. Live Closed Captions are often a fair bit behind the actual video, because when it comes to accessibility it’s more important to get the text right than to get the timing right.
