Examples of Youtube auto transcribing to captions = crap

I find it hard to be too critical of this free service from Google (Transcriptions of voice on Youtube into captions - to aide the hearing impaired) - but these 2 fellows did approach their critique with an unabashedly enterprising and enthusiastic vigour that I enjoyed.   In particular their readings of 5 classics - Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice"; George Orwell's "1984"; Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita"; J.R.R Tolkien's "The Hobbit"; Albert Camu's "L'Etranger"; Charles Dicken's "A Tale of Two Cities"  and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" are very well done (right down to the accents).
