Accessibility with Live Captions

Improving Accessibility in Discuss Interviews by Enabling Live Captions

For users who would like captions during a live interview to support broader accessibility, you can enable the Google Chrome Live Captioning option to add this to your Discuss interview experience. This setting will only change for your window and experience and will not impact or show for anyone else in the meeting room.

  • How it Looks In the Discuss Platform

In the Discuss platform, a box will display on your screen showing live captions for anyone speaking during the interview. Whether you join the meeting room as a Respondent or a Moderator, you'll see the captions as long as you're not the one speaking. Additionally, audio and video content with audio stimuli will be captioned.

Note: Captions are not generated for your own audio stream; they are only displayed for others' speech.

Example of a discussion with the Live Caption enabled in Google Chrome
