I know, I love the messed up cc's, sometimes they are better than the dialog of the show you are watching!
I used to use a captioned phone and one time I must have made a call involving a donation to an organization. At the end of the convo the last line was, "thanks for your urination"!
I gave up using my cap-tel.

As per FCC's rule, CC must be always accurate. And yet YouTube under Google calls it CC. It uses an automatic speech recognition so it's not CC at all. I assume that Google (corporation) doesn't know the difference. Wonder if there are deaf employees in that company and they don't do anything about mislabeling.
Youtube is dividing into 2 parts.
If video upload by normal members aren't required to be closed captioning, but Google does have voice to text conversion - that's not perfect nor good.
If Google distribute official video, such as movies and TV shows - usually paid contents have official CC support.
iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Xbox Marketplace - they are video distribution and they require to have closed captioning per FCC rule.
I noticed that iTunes removed contents if they are not closed captioning.
I was going to watch NCIS on line but you have to pay to see it. Sometime there is nothing good on TV so I watch old TV shows online that didn't have CC when they first came out .
CC is horrible on our local news. So many mistakes, quite a few embarrassing ones.
Local news was doing a story on charter schools....trying to say
"males have lower than average test score" CC typed "males have lower testicles"
There are many shows/movies I just gave up on due to the CC being so awful.
Netflix has NCIS.
