Chrome can now caption almost any video or audio

A lot of the web revolves around video content (subscribe to our YouTube channel!) and podcasts these days, but that brings some accessibility challenges you won’t find with the written word. Hundreds of millions of people are deaf or hard of hearing. Other folks have trouble processing spoken words. And sometimes, you’re just in a noisy area. Good news! Google Chrome’s new Live Caption accessibility feature can provide closed captioning for many videos and audio files—online or offline—even if those videos don’t offer native support.“Now with Live Caption on Chrome, you can automatically generate real-time captions for media with audio on your browser,” Google’s announcement post states. “It works across social and video sites, podcasts and radio content, personal video libraries (such as Google Photos), embedded video players, and most web-based video or audio chat services.”To read this article in full, please click here https://www.pcworld.com/article/3613090/chrome-can-now-caption-almost-any-video-or-audio.html#tk.rss_all
