Most importantly, Live Caption in Google Chrome also works in offline mode, allowing you to caption saved audio and video files when you play them in Chrome.

Google has introduced the 'Live Caption' feature on Chrome on the web. The feature, which was initially launched in 2019 on Pixel 4, automatically generates real-time captions for both audio and video playing on a browser.

Live Caption on Chrome 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. 

It happens in real-time and completely on-device. Most importantly, Live Caption in Google Chrome also works in offline mode, allowing you to caption saved audio and video files when you play them in Chrome.

"Captions make online content more accessible. If you're in a noisy environment, trying to keep the volume down, or are part of the 466 million people in the world who are deaf or hard of hearing, having captions lets you follow along to whatever content you are watching - whether it's viral feta pasta videos, breaking news or a scientist discussing their latest research," Google said.
