Apple Live Captions

If you live on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, this is already there and costs nothing. Live Captions works across whatever is playing: phone and FaceTime calls, video meetings, social video and the person in front of you through the microphone. In a FaceTime group call it attributes each line to the person speaking, and on a Mac you can type a reply and have it spoken aloud. English works in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India and Singapore, alongside a handful of other languages. Captions are generated on the device, so conversations stay private. Apple says accuracy can vary and warns against relying on it in high-risk situations, so treat it as a strong everyday tool, not a replacement for an interpreter at a hospital appointment.
