You can sign in with a Google account. The app works on a phone, tablet, or desktop. It also ties into Google Meet so you can caption/transcribe those meetings.

Suggestion for use:

Start recording next to your device while audio is playing during a presentation or meeting. You can watch captioning occur as words are being spoken. This is not exact, but it is decent for real-time. Be sure to let the meeting facilitator know if you require a captioned recording. We do our best to make them available during Google Meet presentations and after sessions are recorded, but are not always able to connect live captioning to Zoom sessions. You are able to turn captioning on in Google Meet for your own use.
