Live captions

Speak into your phone. The other person reads large captions.

Best for counters, desks, trips, and quick in-person help.

A person holds up a phone with a large caption at a service counter.

Real moments

  • The host speaks normally.
  • The phone previews what it heard.
  • The other person reads large translated captions.
  • The first caption does not wait for sign-in.

Use it this way

  1. 1Choose the language you speak.
  2. 2Choose the language to display.
  3. 3Start captions.
  4. 4Hold the phone so the other person can read.

When it fails

  • If captions are wrong, move closer and speak one language at a time.
  • If the mic is blocked, check Android microphone permission.
  • If translation is slow, source captions still show first.

What to trust

  • Audio is not stored by Captions Translation.
  • Recognized text is used to make captions.
  • Captions stay readable before effects or style.
