Live Captions

Also known as: Google Live Caption, Automatic Captions

An Android accessibility feature that automatically generates real-time captions for any audio playing on the device, including videos, podcasts, phone calls, and video meetings. Unlike Live Transcribe which captures ambient speech, Live Captions processes audio output from the device itself. This feature enables deaf and hard of hearing users to access multimedia content, participate in video calls, and consume online media independently, though accuracy varies with audio quality and language.
