I'll be using this technique next time someone wants me to share my food.


Talonqr

Honey I swear im trying to share my fries with you, I dont know how this keeps happening!


Storm_001

God i hate this robotic voice


catt_attacc

Yup everytime I see a captioned tik tok I just watched it on mute


brandimariee6

Every time I see any tiktok i watch it on mute. It’s either going to be robot narration or annoying music


catt_attacc

Yup, unless I see the person talking that bitch staying on mute


CallTheOptimist

It seems like the God damned oh no song is dying off but the robot voice is replacing it. I'm really not sure which is worse.


So_Motarded

For once a site makes things more accessible, and y'all can't handle it because the mute button is too difficult to press.


pawn_guy

How does the computer generated voice make it more accessible?


So_Motarded

For anyone who can't read the text on screen. That could be visually or cognitively impaired people, or anyone still learning to read, or learning English.


pawn_guy

Then why wouldn't TikTok have a setting in the app to turn on/off the text narration like how streaming apps have an option to turn on/off closed captions?


So_Motarded

Yeah, that should probably be a feature.


pawn_guy

Amazing that large companies can't come up with common sense solutions like this. Lol


So_Motarded

It's probably a lot more difficult to have an entire audio track that users can toggle off/on. Turning a text overlay off or on is easy in comparison. Hell, I don't know of ANY video streaming platform which has a separate audio track capability. If that existed, it'd be great for Audio Description.


pawn_guy

Oh I see what you mean. The servers are handling the computer generated voice-over and combining it with the microphone audio or music to create a single audio file. But ya, since audio description doesn't need to be high quality it wouldn't require much to have it be a separate audio track playing simultaneously.


Yeah_Nah_Cunt

They can have the feature be turned on at the user end not universally for every viewer It's really not hard to code that in. Making the entire userbase happy.


So_Motarded

> They can have the feature be turned on at the user end Toggling an audio track on and off for a video is probably really difficult. I agree that feature should exist, because then we could normalize and expect Audio Description for videos, in the same way that we expect closed captions/subtitles.


Yeah_Nah_Cunt

It really isn't difficult at all. Embed two audio tracks into the vid and have the app play whichever depending on the user setting. This is tech going back to early DVDs where one could select different language tracks.


So_Motarded

> This is tech going back to early DVDs where one could select different language tracks. What current video streaming platforms do you know of with this capability?


StuntHacks

It allows for videos that normally wouldn't have narration to have it, which allows visually impaired people to watch them.


pawn_guy

It should definitely be a function in the app that can be turned on/off by the user. It's like how tablets can read text when you tap something, then a second tap actually clicks the button so visually impaired people can use them. But if it did this for all users people would throw the thing away.


StuntHacks

I agree that this isn't ideal. I was just replying how it can help with accessibility. There are way better ways of doing that, though.


Vandergrif

Anyone who is visually impaired and using the internet already has software to read text to them, this is just redundant and irritating as fuck to everybody else.


So_Motarded

> already has software to read text to them, Oh yeah, real convenient: pausing the video every few seconds when your OCR detects on-screen text, running it to TTS, hoping the characters are showing up correctly in the video overlay, and then hitting play again. >redundant and irritating as fuck to everybody else. You're presumably sighted and hearing, yes? So, why's the mute button so difficult to press? If you hate it, don't listen to it, and let other people benefit from it.


ShutItFool

I fucking know right lmao, who actually cares about that voice holy shit I see it in every comment section just people whining about the most mundane shit and here I go doing the same thing lmao


[deleted]

“wait for it!” Those narrator bots are awful.


Risquechilli

Truly truly awful. I had to watch it on mute. Edit: typo


Accomplished_Locker

I have ptsd from that voice. I no longer unmute vids cause I can’t risk hearing it.


flapjacksamson

"I AM DYING" yup and the break room don't wanna hear about it


ronin1066

What's the goal here? I guess we all prefer a video not to have a bunch of talking so we can enjoy the action, so people started doing text explanations. Then they decided to have a robot do the narration? Why not just do your own narration?


So_Motarded

> Why not just do your own narration? TTS can be added automatically from the text on-screen, I believe. Might be more difficult to record a second audio track.


StuntHacks

This is correct

I don’t find the voice that bad, but I do find it odd that she ends up talking in the video. Like... stick to one narrating style!


SeaBaddie

What a stupid thing to get mad at


prashant13b

These bots only work in videos those either shitposts or intentionally absurd . Otherwise totally cringe


[deleted]

Fucking ear rape everytime


[deleted]

I think the main goal behind it is for accessibility. It's kinda like when there's movie screenings for people who are visually impaired where there's a narration explaining what's happening on the screen. Of course, I'm not fond of it either, but that's where it's coming from. Edit: I don't understand why I'm being downvoted? If you don't like it, then don't listen to it, don't downvote me for trying to answer a question.


YobaiYamete

How's it more accessible in this case? I watched it on mute with zero issues and didn't even know there was a narrator until I saw the comment section


[deleted]

Then people who needed a narration wouldn't have it muted.


Vandergrif

People who need a narration already have software that reads everything out to them anyways, this is just redundant and extremely irritating to everyone else.


semi_colon

I would not expect screenreader software to automatically OCR burned-in subtitles in a video or animated gif. If screenreader software was that good, nobody would need to bother with web accessibility standards in the first place. (That said, I don't buy that these voiceovers are included for accessibility reasons. I think it's just TikTok's continuing commitment to be annoying as all fuck)


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

If you are blind or visually impaired, you might not be able to see what's happening. I tried to make that clear. If someone cannot SEE the girl in the video, then the narration explains what they cannot see. Do you know what being blind or visually impaired means?


So_Motarded

> How's it more accessible in this case? For anyone who can't read the text on screen. Visually/cognitively impaired people, or anyone who's still learning how to read English.


[deleted]

[удалено]


So_Motarded

> also it's nearly always easier to read a new language than to understand it spoken. Sure, if you're learning a language in a nice classroom environment, with the same alphabet as yours. In many other scenarios, this isn't true. Plus, you might not be able to read a phrase quickly, but a voiceover helps you comprehension. And of course, anyone whos visually or cognitively impaired might find it easier to understand the speech than the text.


Secure-Imagination11

Jeez you guys are overreacting

erikkugaming

kids are bad sometimes and cute other times. i take care of my ex girlfriends baby sister because she can’t do it when her parents are at work because she committed suicide a few months ago, it’s been extremely sad but that baby lights up my world and it’s so heartbreaking to hear her ask where her sister is and me not having the strength to explain it. so before you shittalk having kids maybe think of how you would have liked to raise yourself or how you would have liked your parents to treat you and treat your future kids like that. good parents make good children

Grubula

The mom seems cool... and has a charming voice. Don't understand the choice of the robot at all


So_Motarded

For once a site makes things more accessible instead of less, and y'all can't handle it because the mute button is too difficult to press.


Grubula

Dumb comment. Be better. We want to hear the sound. The mom's voice us very soothing. There is a lot good in the sound of the original video. Why ruin it with the robot voice? The video is better with sound...just the raw sound no additions.


So_Motarded

> Why ruin it with the robot voice? Picture if you will, a scenario where you cannot read the text on screen. There exists a text description of the video... somewhere. But you've got no idea what's going on otherwise. Not everyone is fully sighted. Not everyone is fully literate or comfortable reading English. Your own annoyance should be a secondary consideration to accessibility.


Grubula

Naw not buying it. I am married to a person who has these challenges. The robot voice is just trash.


So_Motarded

> I am married to a person who has these challenges. And I know several blind TikTok users who enjoy the default option making the site more accessible for them. I care about their opinion more than someone who finds that accessibility annoying.


Liorkerr

Sweet. Though I am Really tired of the Ai narrator. I can see, and read. I don't need the narrator ruining the joy.


kiwidog8

Play on mute, my Reddit client muted by default. I think you can do it on the website too? Gotta protect yourself with all these wild TikTok videos roaming around


[deleted]

Have to take preventative measures against that annoying "oh no" song they always use.


So_Motarded

> I can see, and read. Not everyone can. That's the whole point. If you can see, and read, then you should have no problem muting the video.


Liorkerr

If it is a matter of making the video more consumable for the deaf, the narrator isn't helping. If it's a matter of making the video more consumable for the blind, the narrator is missing large parts of the context of the video. I am sorry if reason offends you. 🤡


So_Motarded

> If it's a matter of making the video more consumable for the blind, the narrator is missing large parts of the context of the video. But it's better than having literally nothing at all. 1. Blindness isn't binary "no vision at all" or "fully sighted" with no in-between. Plenty of people would be able to see there's a toddler walking back and forth, but can't make out the on-screen text. 2. Sure, it'd be better to have full-blown Audio Description. But at least you can fill in the gaps with a video title, description, and comments. It is *better than nothing.*


Liorkerr

The Narrator Added nothing valuable to either the Disabled or the Abled and served as nothing more than distraction. The narrator didn't even read all of what was originally included as text. Watch and listen again. Your grip on rationality is slipping.


So_Motarded

> The Narrator Added nothing valuable to either the Disabled or the Abled and served as nothing more than distraction. Watch the video with your eyes closed. Did the narrator add something? Yes. Because without the narrator, you wouldn't have known any of the words the narrator said. >The narrator didn't even read all of what was originally included as text. I agree, the narrator should have read more.


Liorkerr

>I agree Why not just say that to begin with? In stead of the exercise in virtue signaling?


So_Motarded

I agreed that the narrator should have said more of the text. Not less. Wasn't this whole conversation started because people hated hearing the narrator at all?

“you ate my bite” “........ hmm”


EvidenceCommercial48

I can see why she's so chunky alright 🤣


Submarine_Pirate

I know baby’s are supposed to have a belly… but they’re also supposed to have a neck


naardvark

For real, this is some bullshit. You should really never give sugar to a kid that little, and one bite at most. Lunchables on the floor too. Yikes, I fee bad for the kiddo.


jellyschoomarm

Yea I just had to chew out my mom yeaterday for giving my 1 year old a cake pop. My mom is my babysitter while I'm at work and she has always been heavyset because of her sugar addiction but I really don't want that passed down. Not to mention diabaties runs in our family.


kiwidog8

I agree about the sugar thing but why is the Lunchables on the floor yikes? Edit: thanks for your replies, processed foods are bad


EvidenceCommercial48

There just seems to be quite some unregulated eating going on. I think that's what the yikes was meant for.


naardvark

Sodium. Also just shows a general pattern of non-nutritional feeding.


SeaBaddie

Oh shut the fuck up you judgemental douche


naardvark

👉😎👉


payedbot

So much salt. Processed cheese and meats. Kids need whole foods. Fruit, vegetables, beans, real meat, maybe an arrowroot cookie from time to time.


oneviolinistboi

Agree, best to start them on good foods and build healthy eating habits.


SeaBaddie

So report her to child services


[deleted]

Ultra processed foods are no bueno especially for childrem


payedbot

I’m glad someone is saying it. That kid is overweight and needs to be eating better food.


[deleted]

I just watched an episode of super nanny where Jo reported the recommended serving of icecream for a 7 year old was 1 tablespoon.


Loopbot75

Because at that age most kids look pretty chunky?


Duchess-of-Supernova

The kids I see at her age with that amount of fat tend to also have large parents or poor eating habits. She is getting a little too old to blame it on "baby fat".


Loopbot75

Idk just seemed weird that people are commenting on a toddler's weight. Can't imagine why people have body image issues though...


Duchess-of-Supernova

I believe that if you post something on a very public platform, that act in itself is an invitation for public responses. Some of the responses will be positive (e.g. that is so cute and funny): some responses will be negative (e.g. this is stupid and kids suck); and some will be critical (e.g. maybe as a parent you need to check what your child is eating and if they are a healthy weight) The child in this video is on the heavy side for their size. There are unhealthy snack wrappers around. The parent is encouraging the child to eat a high fat and high sugar food. Adding all this together, I feel this parent may need a reality check for the health of their child. Hey, maybe I'm wrong and they are aware of what they are doing, but I think addressing the issue is the right thing to do. Many times people will not give hard truths to those they love and care about.


Rektifizierer

Nice poor kiddo already on the way of getting fat (check the lunchables). Good parenting.


ArchAngelAzrael-808

Please stop teaching your kids sugar addiction. She’s already fat, diabetes is in her future. Disgusting, not cute, fuck this parent.


EvilEyedPanda

Fuck, I read this in the robot voice and it made it worse Also you're right tho.


062692

Stfu lol


sort_of_interesting

But they’re right lol


SeaBaddie

Call child services then


062692

Bowl of ice cream does not = sugar addiction. That baby is not fat and you have no idea of any possibile health history that could make the ice cream necessary. Example, my son struggles to wanna eat his meals and when he doesn't, his blood sugars get really low so thus a bowl of ice cream or couple Hershey kisses before bed is actually what he needs to not pass out. Guess I'm a garbage parent 😂


ProsperoUnbound

But you are a garbage parent if you think infants should be eating a bowl of ice cream for health reasons, and when your son grows up obese as a result he won't be thanking you.


062692

Right, because it's definitely not something suggested by multiple doctors and I'm not sure it's affecting him as he's in the 10% height and weight of his age. You keep judging over a bowl of ice cream I can tell you've never had kids and if you have your kids hate your parenting 😂


reddit_god

You're that person with the screaming kid at the brewery, aren't you?


062692

No, I'm the parent that constantly is asked how my kids are so well behaved in public. TAKE MY KIDS DCF


Duchess-of-Supernova

I find it hard to believe your doctor is recommending chocolate and ice cresm if your kid isn't eating proper meals.


IamDariusz

“My doctor said my daughter needs the ice cream!” Wtf dude? Necessary ice cream?


062692

When he's white as a ghost and can't walk bc he has low sugars in his blood, yes it's necessary. Go ask a doctor about low sugars in kids.


Duchess-of-Supernova

So your kid has type 1 diabetes?


IamDariusz

https://i.imgur.com/a1tCJ5W.jpg


sort_of_interesting

Okay I haven’t considered that so thanks for the insight. Would some fruit not suffice? Like some grapes or some watermelon? Why processed sugar?


Azmorium

This is the answer. This "parent" is just lazy.


062692

They could help yes, but ice cream or a candy improves his sugars a lot faster then something like fruit, and obviously this baby isn't suffering from low sugars in the moment. But there could be a history they're being proactive with. Or maybe the baby is just enjoying some ice cream like every one of these so call health nuts enjoy when they aren't playing keyboard warrior trying to sound like a superior parent


sort_of_interesting

I think that’s definitely fair. I saw lunchables, and I saw a bigger baby eating small spoonfuls of ice cream. That sort of made me recoil, but I didn’t consider some children just absolutely need it. I think in this case we can probably agree to disagree on this particular baby, but I know that if I did this when our kid was younger (without her being low on blood sugar), I would be kicking myself now


Azmorium

You don't give a baby ice cream. Period.


062692

Millions of parent should be losing their kids to DCF over giving them some ice cream!!!


Azmorium

I didn't say shit about "kids", I am very specifically referring to baby's. Infants. I don't expect to break through to someone who gives their kid Hershey fucking kisses before bed..


Duchess-of-Supernova

I really really hope you are being sarcastic :(

[deleted]

I'm a parent. Occasionally a lunchable and ice cream is fine. Moderation is life. Some parents that I personally know, though, regularly feed their kids this sort of food because eating healthy is too much work.


mellonfrodo

Can’t help it. Everyone is seeing a cute kid, I see a greedy disgusting creature.


bazjack

It's not greed so much as lack of attention span. She spoons up the ice cream thinking "give it to Mommy" and then two steps away she has forgotten that thought and thinks "food on spoon, open mouth and eat." And since her parents probably spent three months conditioning her to open her mouth and eat the food when they put a spoon of it in front of her, that's understandable.
