    I don’t mind the idea, but I would be curious where the training data comes from. You can’t just train them off of the user’s (unsubtitled) videos, because you need subtitles to know if the output is right or wrong. I checked their twitter post, but it didn’t seem to help.

          No, if you have a center track you can just use that. Volume isn’t a problem for a computer listening to it since they don’t use the physical speakers.
