Machine Generated Closed Captions are created by an advanced voice-to-text application within VidGrid
Generally these captions are 80% to 90% accurate but that accuracy depends on multiple factors: audio quality (often the microphone or the room in which audio is recorded), clarity of speech and enounciation and technical language are a few critical ones.
VidGrid has a good caption editor that allows you to quickly make corrections as your video plays
