- Microsoft is testing Live Captions functionality in Windows 11 preview builds.
- This is mostly identical to Google’s own Live Caption feature in Android.
- This generates captions on-device for any content with audio.
Google introduced Live Caption functionality to Android back in 2019, allowing users to get locally generated captions for any video and audio content. This extended to recorded videos, podcasts, and more.
Now, Microsoft has announced (h/t: Liliputing) that a new Windows 11 Insider preview build (version 22557) comes with a so-called Live Captions feature as well. This can be activated by pressing Windows+Ctrl+L.
