You could thus auto fast forward and edit out snippets from videos where a certain word or topic is being said and discussed. For example, people can search for “Healthcare” and basically get to automatically zap among the most relevant videos that currently talk about it. This is very significant in improving video search.

Google could add a collaborative manual subtitle correction feature as well, so all viewers can collaborate to fix eventual auto subtitle and auto translation issues. So for popular videos, with a few volunteers out of 1000 viewers contributing in the first few hours of a movie being uploaded, the subtitles could basically be close to perfect in all major translated languages.
