While YouTube has offered auto-generated captions for videos for quite some time, their accuracy can be a mixed bag. To address the inconsistencies and improve accessibility, YouTube is currently testing a new feature that allows viewers to suggest corrections for auto-generated captions on its videos.

First spotted by Android Police, the YouTube Help page has been updated to mention a new viewer-suggested corrections feature. This feature is in early testing and is currently limited to desktop YouTube for a select group of English-language channels with auto-captions enabled.
