Arrr, mateys! It be said that Google be workin' on customizin' features fer the Live Caption accessibility on mobile devices. Assemble Debug, a software deep diver, uncovered this treasure in the Android System Intelligence app. According to Android Authority, there be four options in total, though details be scarce.
One option be showin' "emoji icons" in captions to convey emotions better. The other three be a bit mysterious, includin' emphasis on emotional intensity, word duration effects, and displayin' emotional tags. It be a bit murky, but it seems Live Caption be gettin' better at capturin' the emotions in transcribed voices.
The feature breakdown suggests Live Caption could show emotions like anger or sarcasm through text styles. It could also display word duration effects for things like singin' notes held. Emotional tags might indicate specific emotions in a transcript.
If these features be true, Live Caption could become even more useful for those with hearin' difficulties.
