Captioning application developed by Google for Android
Live Transcribe is a mobile app for real-time captioning, developed by Google for the Android operating system. Development on the application began in partnership with Gallaudet University.[3] It was publicly released as a free beta for Android 5.0+ on the Google Play Store on February 4, 2019.[4] As of early 2023 it had been downloaded over 500 million times.[5]
Researchers Dimitri Kanevsky, Sagar Savla and Chet Gnegy at Google developed the app in collaboration with researchers at Gallaudet University,[6] an American university for the education of the deaf and hard of hearing. The app uses machine learning to generate captions,[7] similar to YouTube's auto-generated captions.[8]
In August 2019, Google made Live Transcribe an open-source project.[9][10]
The app uses speech recognition to generate live captions in over 80 languages with varying accuracy.[11][12] The app, which requires connection to the Internet to function, is available to download on the Google Play Store.
A later update to the app[13] displayed information on sounds such as clapping, laughter, music, applause, and whistling.[14]
In May 2020, the app started supporting transcription in Albanian, Burmese, Estonian, Macedonian, Mongolian, Punjabi, and Uzbek, supporting 70 languages.[15]
In March 2022, the app was updated with support to transcribe offline, without Internet connection, so long as the appropriate language pack has been installed.[16] The offline mode is only available for devices with 6GB of RAM and certain Google Pixel devices.
