When Google launched last September, Android 10 announced that we would have to wait to enjoy one of its novelties. We talk about Live Caption.
Live Caption was presented last May during the Google I/O 2019 and now we know that the new Pixel 4 will come standard with this powerful accessibility tool.
Live Caption is a tool that allows us to automatically add subtitles to videos, podcasts and audio messages in any application. While Live Transcribe transcribes all the audio that the Live Caption microphone listens to, all the audio generated by an application.
A leak has been able to extract the Live Caption APK from a Pixel 4 and XDA-Developers has managed to install it on a Pixel 2 XL. In the screenshots, we can see that this tool only works in English but will be compatible with more languages.
Google announced that Live Caption will arrive in late autumn and first on its Pixel devices, so it seems that until Google launches its new Pixel 4 will not update the rest of his family.
XDA-Developers shows us in the video how Live Caption transcribes a YouTube video in real-time, showing its subtitles in the middle of the screen. Google reported that this feature will work offline and with videos that we have saved on the device.
