The caption delay is usually less than half a second and should not be noticeable to viewers. The plugin only captions the selected audio source when it's not muted and when it's used on the current active scene to ensure safety and avoid any captioning when the mic is muted for the stream. Only tested on `Twitch.tv`, other streaming services with native caption support might work but not very likely. You can enable and disable the caption preview dock in OBS under `View -> Docks -> Captions` Some video players like MPV can show embedded captions on downloaded VODs but very few support that. The quality of Google's Speech Recognition heavily depends on the speaker and what is being said. The results are usually be pretty good in normal conversational settings like talking to chat but the recognition quality can go down noticeably when using ingame terms or other specialized vocabulary or during hectic speaking. SRT transcript files are generally recommended for saving captions for local recordings. They are supported by many video players, websites and tools and are easy to edit. On PC viewers can turn captions on and off using the CC button on the bottom right of the player. On iOS it's a system wide setting: Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Subtitles & Captioning -> Closed Captions + SHD If it's already off but viewers still see captions they have to turn it on and off again (appears to be a bug on some iOS versions) If it's already off but viewers still see captions they have to turn it on and off again (appears to be a bug on some iOS versions) On Android it's Closed Captions under the player settings options right beneath the quality selection. The option will only show up once the streamer has talked.
