Hey LIVEcommunity, did you know you can enable Live Caption on your computer? If you have an Apple Silicon Mac, Windows 11 version 22H2 or higher, or use the Google Chrome browser you can whip up captions for your videos, podcasts, live streams, video chats, and more – it's like magic for your ears! And the best part? Everything happens right on your device, so it's all super private and secure.

When turned on the first time, live captions will prompt you to download live captions language files to be used by on-device speech recognition. If your language is not available, you can use another language during setup.

 

If you don't have an Apple Silicon MAC or Windows 11 version 22H2 or higher computer, you can enable live captions within your browser. 

 

Google Chrome
