Live Caption is a useful feature for people with hearing disabilities. When you activate the Live Caption feature on your phone, it will automatically add captions to any video or audio playing on your phone, even the voice recordings and voice messages. Interestingly, you don’t even need an internet connection for this to work. You can simply activate the Live Caption feature by going to the “Settings” menu on your phone and then selecting “Live Caption.” After you activate the Live Caption feature, you will need to provide your phone with the captions. Captions can be provided by you or a third-party. You can also share your captions with others by sending them a text message or email.
Before we begin
Live caption is a feature on many Samsung phones that allows the user to see what is being said during a video or audio conversation by pressing a button on the phone. This feature is especially helpful for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
What Is the Use of Live Caption
Live captions are a great way to make sure that everyone can understand what’s being said in a video or audio recording. When you’re listening to a phone call, podcast, or video, Live Caption will display live text that explains what’s being said. You can also use Live Caption when you’re recording an audio message or an audio recording, and you can even see the live text while you’re recording.
Is Live Caption Safe
Live captioning is a feature that allows people with hearing impairments to have a better understanding of what is being said in a video. Google says that the feature will not work to transcribe songs, and that all audio and captions are processed on the device.
