> but rather to elicit donations to produce the subtitles

I intend to engage someone at Youtube/Google to use their internal automated subtitling system and open source/release the captions along with the existing content [1]. (Why UC Berkley didn't use this, I'm unaware)

In the event the above is not possible, I'll roll my own when time permits (voice recognition with distributed human verification).

> I fear it's likely too late due to a deadline to comply.

Agreed. Hence, archival.

Automated subtitles without human review of every spoken phrase likely doesn't comply with regulation. It would be very poor quality to have anything transcribed incorrectly.
