Closed captions and transcripts display

Closed captions display spoken words as text during a live call.

Call transcription instantly converts spoken words to written text in real time. It displays only for you in a scrollable window, capturing dialogue, not sounds, and updating as participants speak. When you turn on closed captions, the transcription automatically starts for you.
