## General

To learn about accessibility on /e/OS devices, go to [Android Accessibility](https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/). You may notice the URL contains "Google": it's because the Android Open Source Project is documented by them. Rest assured all the accessibility features you'll find in /e/OS are deGoogled and Open Source.

## Live caption

As Android's native live caption solution is based on a Google solution, we implemented our own solution, based on [VOSK](https://alphacephei.com/vosk/). When enabled this solution captures all system audio and display the corresponding text on screen so you can know what the video says.

### How to enable it

* Live caption can be activated by going to your `Settings > Accessibility > Live Caption`

### How to tune the settings

* Select a language by going to `Settings > Accessibility > Live Caption > Languages`. A download notification will appear the first time you select a language.

{% include alerts/tip.html content="The language of the Live Caption feature is independent from the System language and is by default set to English (US)"%}
