These instructions explain how to automatically generate live captions (text of the audio content) in your Chrome web browser for most video/audio that lacks captions, live Collaborate sessions, and moreof audio playing on your computer for free.
These instructions will discuss two different solutions for generating live captions. The first solution will use a feature built into Google Chrome and the second solution will use a web service called Web Captioner.
Solution #1 is much easier to set up and doesn't require modifying the configuration of your Windows audio settingsvery easy to enable but will only caption audio in Google Chrome. This will include any audio playing in Chrome including embedded videos, Collaborate sessions, Zoom sessions if you connect via browser, and you can even drag'n'drop video files onto Chrome. We recommend that you try this solution first to see if it meets your needs.
Solution #2 can caption audio/video playing from any program on your computer, but it's much more complicated to set up and involves changing the behaviour of how the sound settings work in Windows.
