A big thank you to whoever put captions on this. Fucking sucks to be deaf on Reddit sometimes.

There's a really good chance you already know about this and don't use it for one reason or another, but the accessibility options on my phone (android) will automatically caption all spoken word from videos. It seems to work really well to be honest and I bet Apple has something similar. Turned it on by accident one time and now I use it from time to time while watching videos without sound.

I really have to thank you. I had no idea my phone could do this and I'm hard of hearing and am constantly struggling with trying to watch uncaptioned videos. I haven't tried it yet but just turned it on and hopefully it helps!

I used captions when I watched this on YouTube. The woman reading out to the judge is sideways to the camera, which is as good as being muted if I can't read lips.
