Also built into Windows 11 as of the 22H2 release, just for the record.

That said, I may have to try this out - I've wanted to give Linux another go on my desktop but since I use captions rather heavily, that's been a disincentive. I'll have to see how this stacks up against other options; Apple's live captioning doesn't work as well as I'd like, Google's live captioning on the Pixel is great; Microsoft's live captions on Windows are pretty fantastic.

Unfortunately I'm tied to iOS for the longer-term since my hearing aid (a Resound model) integrates well with iPhones but not so much with Android, unless I want to buy an additional $400+ accessory.

I've been incredibly happy with the Win 11 captions as well; it's spoiled me on every other automatic captioning resource, honestly.

I saw a video (from Microsoft) about how their captions are best in class, especially for accents, and I can believe it. I work with people from around the world and the captions are almost always correct, except for contextually ambiguous words with a very heavy accent (like "job" for "shop").
