My fitness and life coach uses loom for communicating short messages to me since he primarily sends video messages. The subtitles and transcriptions feature is quite nice in my opinion since I can’t hear.
As a tool that bridges the gap between hearie and deaf, it’s invaluable to me. Innovative? Probably not but it’s easy enough for a gymbro to figure out how to use so it’s doing something the others are not.
Side note with a bunch of complaining: if the various messengers could add automatic captions and transcripts it would be nice and it’s disgraceful that none of the ones I use have done so yet. Until that happens I’ll keep getting loom links sent to me in video notes and being forced to use teams and zoom for remote calling.
PeerTube overall lacks decent support for subtitles, which is my answer to all of the questions. Veronica Explains is (so far) the only channel I make an effort to watch on PeerTube because she provides subtitles.
I’d be more than happy with terrible machine-generated subtitles at the bare minimum since they are enabled by default on YouTube when uploading a video. Accessibility is quite important imo
