These instructions explain how to automatically generate live captions in your web browser for any audio/video that is playing on your computer, including people speaking in a live Collaborate session.
...
Your recorded audio is sent to Google's speech-to-text service and the captions are sent back to your browser. At no point does your audio pass through Web Captioner servers. For more info read Web Captioner's privacy page.
Overview of the Process
The first step is to install a program called VB-Cable. We use VB-Cable to take your computer audio and turn it onto a virtual microphone. Next we will use a free website, Web Captioner, to listen to the virtual microphone and automatically generate live captions and display them in your web browser. To put this another way, Web Captioner will listen to your computer's audio and automatically caption what it hears. Web Captioner is a website, you will grant permission for Web Captioner to listen to your audio, and once you've closed the browser tab that runs Web Captioner it can no longer listen to your audio (until you re-open it).
...
With these changes, your computer system audio is now available to programs such as Web Captioner as the VB-Cable CABLE Output microphone.
For any programs where you want to caption their audio ensure that their audio output device is set to CABLE Input.
