Well, at least I tried. The fans were really running hard on the old D620 to record the video. You can hear them in the background.
But its amazing that a 17 yr old low-end laptop did that well at it.
Me, I’m afraid I’m not very good at making videos… Oh well.

Fear not! I don’t know too many people in this forum who brag about their video-making ability.
I have very little experience making or editing videos; I’ve only tried once or twice; you’re WELL ahead of me!Side bar: someone, (possibly on the Linux Questions forum rather than here) was asking about the D600 series; I used to have a D600 myself, probably the first or second place I ran antiX (the other was a Dell Dimension 4100 desktop); that series has ALWAYS worked well with antiX!
Anyway, your work IS appreciated and it IS useful; thanks again!

Very good!
Does anyone know if youtube does speech to text and then translates the text for non-english speaking viewers?

May provide a possibility for speech to text translation of YouTube videos.--

https://www.voices.com/blog/transcribe-youtube-videos/ is an article that may also be helpful.

So based on those articles if you turn on captions you can translate it but it is not very accurate; or you can use Google Docs with the YouTube sound turned on.
Also if you are using Google Chrome there may be a way to get an extension to handle translation.
Reading all of the articles will explain the trade offs for every approach.

Yes, but setting it up can be a little fickle. The quality varies a lot depending on the sound source. Good pronunciation and good sound quality and little use of idiomatic language yields decent subtitles. I’m not sure, but I think the translation engine is pretty much the same that Google uses across services. And translation quality varies a lot between languages. Major European languages seem to work pretty well. But I’ve tried watching, say, Japanese videos with English subs, and the results are terrible. Might be due to the idiomatic nature of the subject matter, but machine translation of Japanese does not seem to work very well.

Youtube greyed out the option, so the only way would be to type it or upload it and then sync it. Its a 17 year old machine. There isn’t any way to turn off the fans, and if I did, it would burn up and die.

The good news is that if you go to the video editor in YouTube, the speech to text transcription is there (well, it should be…), and you can edit it! For a later video using the same setup, try an external mic – even a real cheap one works – and keep it close to your mouth. That should block out the fan noise. Setting up an external mic as a sound source in Simple Screen is also a bit finicky, as I recall, but it can be done.
By the way, thanks for the tips in the video. I’ve tried doing some of the things you mention, but I never really found it made much of a noticeable difference in the overall performance. Also, I like to keep my setups as vanilla as possible, so that new installations take the minimum time to get working. (My USB remasters are never to be found when I need them!) I just tend to go with zzz and ice. But doing it like you did might work. How much RAM were you able to save in total with your tweaks?
