- Google's Live Caption feature is now available on Chrome, but you will have to jump through a few hoops if you want to activate it on your browser.
- Live Caption "automatically captions speech on your device. Use it on videos, podcasts, phone calls, video calls, and audio messages – even stuff you record yourself."
- There are still some bugs, but Live Captions might be rolling out to the public before long.
Two years ago, Google introduced us to the Live Caption feature on Android. Live Captions automatically create and displays captions for any audio that's playing on your device, whether you're listening to a podcast, watching a video, playing back a voicemail, or talking to someone on the phone. The only problem with the feature was that it was only available on Android, but now it looks like Google is preparing to bring Live Captions to Chrome.
First spotted by Chrome Story, Google has added a toggle to the global media control menu in Chrome which allows users to easily turn Live Captions on and off. In order to see this toggle, you will need to enable the experimental flag, which you can find by pasting chrome://flags/#enable-accessibility-live-caption into your address bar. Scroll until you find Live Captions and choose "Enabled" from the drop-down menu.
