Chrome tests transcripts in real time

The new version is available in Chrome Canary from edition 85.0.4167.0

The Google Chrome browser has added a new feature to its trial version that allows users to enable real-time transcripts for any video or audio file played.

This novelty is available in Chrome Canary, the unstable version of the browser in which Google tests Chrome’s new functions, starting with edition 85.0.4167.0, as the Techdows portal has warned.

By activating this function, which is already operational, Chrome displays a box with real-time text transcripts headed with the Live caption title in the reproduced audio or video files.

Chrome Canary allows you to enable transcripts in real time for videos from the flags section of the browser. The function is available for Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS.

Google had already reported on the development of this tool at the end of last year, when it explained how transcripts and translations work in real time from the device itself and the browser, to avoid fragmentation of this function between different applications.
