Google recently added Live Captions to the desktop version of Chrome and on select Android devices. With Live Captions enabled, Chrome auto-transcribes any audio playing in the browser, even if the sound is muted.

The feature is similar to YouTube’s auto-transcription capabilities, but works for all audio played through Chrome. This includes: videos, podcasts, and voice calls. It also works for Chrome Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) like YouTube and YouTube Music.

Live Captioning in Google Chrome is a useful accessibility feature for those with hearing impairments, or any users who want to follow along to videos and other spoken media but can’t turn up their audio. That said, at this point, its speech recognition isn’t perfect for sure we will see some improvements.
