I am always surprised at the number of pre-recorded items (eg news

Anything where people are speaking words that have been written in
advance can use that script to generate the subtitles. That
applies both to a news report where the reporter and editor work
together to time the script to the pictures, and to studio
presenters reading the words off the autocue.
You can always tell subtitles which are generated on the fly
because they appear one word at a time rather than one
sentence/phrase at a time.
I thought that a lot of subtitles were prepared in advance then
recalled when used.
As far as I know, most live news subtitles are machine generated.
Hence why you sometimes get rubbish which is manually corrected a
second or two later by human intervention.
