Chrome Live Captions #Captioning
|
Yes it is very easy to turn on Chrome Live Captions. For example, this means that you can caption YouTube videos that were not previously captioned by YouTube.
Here are the instructions attached, with screen prints, using a Mac. I am attaching the same document in Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF. Carolyn J. Odio

Do you have instructions for an iPad? The windows are different from these instructions. Thanks, Carol

I don't see the option (in the settings menu) on the Chrome App on the iPad...does anyone else?

I started using the Chrome captioning a month ago and never was able to use it on my iPad (which is my preference). I had to use it on my iMac. I’m guessing its because it doesn’t work on IOS, only on OS.

Thanks. I’m glad I asked instead of continuing to try figuring it out. Too bad. I use the iPad for watching TV and youtube programs. Supposedly youtube captions everything, but that, too, seems to be only on the computer and not iOS.

Carol, I work for 3Play Media, a video accessibility partner for all video content. Maybe we can help you? All the best, Dustin On Jul 22, 2021, at 12:02 PM, Carol in Boston <carolagate34@...> wrote:

I regularly watch YouTube on my iPad, with captions. You have to turn on captioning, then the cc will appear on the video for you to choose to use them. You can Google how to do this.

I’m sorry. I just remembered that Chrome captions don’t work on the iPad. You need to use a laptop.

I think it’s automatic. I just use Chrime to connect to webinars where captions are otherwise provided, and the captions appear. Except it hasn’t worked with Zoom for me.

I don’t watch things live. I watch 60 Minutes and the late night comics on my iPad. Also news programs. I know how to turn captions on when there are captions, but few of the programs do. There are more often captions on the computer than on the iPad. 60 Minutes is particularly frustrating because they always have a nice big CC but when you select it there are no captions, even tho’ there are options for the color and size you want. Closer Look has captions about half the time. Stephen Colbert usually does. Anderson Cooper never does.There’s one that has captions on top that are like the old days when they were a bunch of letters that made no sense. PBS News Hour always has captions, and sometimes they are great, practically synched. But lore often they lag about 5 to 8 second behind the talker so they are close to useless. MSNBC always has a lag. I doubt they use CART, but if it’s ASR I don’t know why it lags so far. CNN does have them. There it a text logo, but it’s always greyed out.

So it tends to be erratic. I wind up choosing what I will watch based on whether there are captions and preferably the captions appear with thew speech.

I don’t know an answer to that. Perhaps if you watch the streaming using Chrome on your laptop, though that would not be as convenient. This sounds like an area where advocacy is needed to get improvement. You might post about this on the HLAA advocacy group.

Mary, you mentioned the following above:
I just use Chrime to connect to webinars where captions are otherwise provided, and the captions appear. Except it hasn’t worked with Zoom for me. Captions work with zoom (paid version and now the free version) so I am confused when you say captions don't work on zoom...(?) Carolyn J. Odio

Sorry - I meant when the host doesn’t enable captions on Zoom, I wasn’t able to get captions thru using Chrome.

Yes you are correct...if you check the upper left corner of the screen it probably needs to say "Chrome".
(When you have the zoom up it does not say Chrome, it says Zoom.) Here is Chrome: Here is Zoom: -- Carolyn J. Odio

The issue you are having with Zoom captioning using the Chrome browser is that you are opening the Zoom program using Chrome, but Zoom does not run within the Chrome browser but its own platform. That would be independent of any operating system.
