Chrome gets Live Caption feature: Here’s how to enable it

Chrome now supports Google’s Live Caption feature, which is available on a few smartphones. The feature helps spontaneously create captions for any video, podcast, or audio message on your phone. The feature, which was first spotted by XDA Developers, only supports the English language.

We tried this feature and it worked for YouTube videos, podcast players, WhatsApp audio or video files, and other content. However, the Live Caption in Chrome took some time to download speech recognition files when we played a Podcast. The feature struggled to immediately display captions.

We did get spontaneous captions once the speech recognition files were downloaded.
