Just been blown away by how good Narrator and Live Captions are on Windows and it makes me even angrier that they aren’t just building an OS but an ad-and-AI infested surveillance nightmare. Mainly because it shows, yet again, what we could achieve in technology if everything wasn’t tied to a toxic business model and a suicidal system of perpetual growth with finite resources.
This should also shame the Linux folks (not volunteers, multi-billion/trillion-dollar corporations who profit from it).
If you want Live Captions on Linux, check out https://github.com/abb128/LiveCaptions – you can also find it on Flathub and it works splendidly and, unlike the Windows version, it automatically saves a transcript. This is perfect for making your live streams and videos more accessible. And it’s free and open source.
@semitones @owncast @peertube Yeah, it should. It captions the audio coming out of your system.
