Modern technology has utterly transformed the availability of captions on the media we consume. Long gone are the days when captioning something was a slow and manual process, and we’ve evolved from services like YouTube being able to automatically generate them, to our phones themselves being able to directly create captions with the help of systems like Live Caption. Last month Google gave Live Caption a big functional upgrade with Expressive Captions, and now captions are getting a little more refinement through a smart interface tweak.
Maybe you’re just a casual caption reader, but others hold some serious preferences when it comes to how their on-screen text is presented. Placement, font, size, color — there are plenty of options that impact how captions are delivered. And now Reddit user andyooo has spotted Live Captions on Android picking up a new transparency option (via 9to5Google).
