Open the original- What it measures
- Live captions show text on screen while audio plays, for example from a video, a call or an app. Microsoft describes the captions as generated on the device, and says they are not kept afterwards.
- What it does not show
- The statement is about the captions Windows generates. It does not say whether a third-party app that captures the same audio keeps a copy, so check any app you use.
