An OBS Studio plugin that generates closed captions for live streams using the Google Cloud Speech Recognition API. It leverages Twitch's built-in caption support so viewers can optionally see captions on livestreams and VODs without any extension, and can also save transcripts as SRT or text files.
Use cases
- add closed captions to twitch livestreams
- generate srt subtitle files from stream recordings
- caption microphone audio automatically in obs
- display open captions via text sources for platforms without caption support
- transcribe live streams for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers
- filter or replace words in live captions
When to choose
- you stream on Twitch and want optional closed captions for viewers
- you need SRT or text transcripts of your streams or recordings
- you want captions only when your mic is unmuted for safety
- you want a standalone OBS plugin with no extra tools or websites
When to avoid
- you use Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS), which doesn't support third-party plugins
- you need native captions for non-western character set languages like Japanese or Russian
- you stream to platforms other than Twitch with native caption support
- you use the AMD hardware encoder on Windows
