Deaf Tips Video Series - Using Captions on Google Chrome
Our Peer Support Navigator, Anna, shows us how to turn on automatic captions in the Google Chrome browser. This setting may help if you are watching a video that does not already have captions. Other browsers may have a similar feature, but this can vary. You can also check your browser's extension store for caption tools and extensions.

We are proudly delivering projects for the Peer Support and Capacity Building (PSCB) grant for the NDIS.

Transcript: Hello there, and welcome to Deaf Tips. Do you use Google Chrome on your laptop or computer? Did you know that if you're watching a video without captions it can automatically bring up captions on screen? Take a look! So, this video doesn't have captions. However, I can modify the settings. Check it out. From the browser, click on the three dots at the top right corner, click on "Settings", scroll down to "Accessibility", and toggle on Live Captions. If you want turn the captions on or off, or modify them, this is where to find these settings. Click on this icon (with the musical symbol) at the top left corner, and toggle that on or off. Cool, right?! It may not be perfect all the time, but you might still find it helpful. If you use a different browser, such as Safari or Firefox, their settings may or may not have captions. If they don't, that's okay, it's possible that the browser's extension store may have an extension for captions. If they do, you could download it and give it a go. Let us know how it goes! I hope that was helpful. Have a good day. Bye! ... See MoreSee Less
