WOW you are a boss for finding the truth other's don't hear with their supposedly healthy ears.
Here is a way around it fellow pede:

Thanks for this and I'm aware of this. However there's some issues with that, like for example, when Jen Psaki was asked a question I have no idea what it was then she said, "No" and moved on to the next reporter.
I used Live Captions for that (which I had to view on my phone) and the question wasn't even clear, it was something to do with a Dr. Houxan? I believe it meant to say Dr. Fauci but anyways, the question wasn't even said in full and then I got the "No" and that was the end of it.
While it's good, it's not close to being reliable yet unfortunately.
Again, thank you for this!
Also to add, I was on Discord in that TD.W channel and I met someone there. They were also deaf and they told me about installing Android stacks on Linux since I'm running Linux and from there, I can use LiveCaptions to watch anything from Twatter, Vimeo etc. Then Discord banned that channel and I lost everything, including the instructions on what I'm supposed to install and all so. Dummy me didn't screenshot the convo. I tried looking for it but it was very specific that I had to install, which would have enabled LiveCaptions.
When there's some downtime for me, I'll research more into this so I don't have to use my phone.
So it's a little complicated to get it on linux and I would need to know what flavor you use...
BUT if your Linux supports Chrome, try this:

Looks like it's built in
I'm using it, works pretty good!
Yeah man! It works! Thanks so much!!!
Lol I tested it with the same video hahahah
Wow didn't know Chrome has that feature already. To be honest I've been behind on everything Google related. Used to be a fan of Google until I've seen all of the shit Google have done so I quickly lost interest.
I'm on Fedora, a fork of Red Hat, and yes it does support Chrome (I'm on Brave) but I don't really want to install Chrome.
But for this reason alone, I may just go ahead and install but won't even sign in at all.
Wow man, thank you so much for going the extra mile for me! Truly appreciate it and I'll install Chrome soon, test it out and report.
Yeah I used to like Google and Microsoft sooo much.... Really broke my heart, I was the PC > MAC guy.
I'm surprised how good it works
I'm trying to de-google as well but it's hard.
Also looks like the captions work offline too, so it's not like it communicates all the sounds to a server.
I wish they weren't the tyrants of our age, it really is a pity, such cool products and companies... SHAME, some of them are even smart, it sucks
I'm going to install Linux to figure this out
