Live Transcribe is a smartphone application to get realtime captions developed by Google for the Android operating system. Development on the application began in partnership with Gallaudet University.[2] It was publicly released as a free beta for Android 5.0+ on the Google Play Store on February 4, 2019.[3] As of early 2023 it had been downloaded over 500 million times.[4] The app can be installed from an .apk file by sideloading and it will launch, but the actual transcription functionality is disabled, requiring creation of an account with Google.
