Live Caption Chrome Native
Chrome’s built-in live caption feature is powerful but hidden. This guide and tool help you enable and optimize Chrome’s native captions, turning them into a productivity powerhouse for transcription. No extension needed – it’s already in your browser.
How the Live Caption Chrome Native works
Access Chrome settings and enable Live Caption in the Accessibility section. Once activated, any audio in Chrome gets automatic captions. Open multiple tabs with different audio sources – each gets captioned independently. Use the caption window to review recent transcriptions. Copy text directly from the caption display for quick notes. Adjust caption style and position for optimal visibility.
Live Caption Chrome is the transcription tool you already have. Built into Chrome, it requires no installation, no permissions, no account. Yet it rivals dedicated transcription services for accuracy. Perfect for privacy-conscious users who want transcription without sending audio to external services.
