What's New in Live CC

2.10

September 25, 2026

Live CC 2.10 is our biggest update yet. • Captions on the Lock Screen: captioning keeps going when your phone locks. See the latest caption on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and stop anytime without unlocking. • Screen stays on while you're captioning, so it won't lock mid-conversation. You can change this in Settings. • More languages: caption conversations in many more languages. Pick yours in Settings; new languages download the first time you use them. • Smart titles and summaries: saved transcripts get a title and summary, generated entirely on your device (on supported devices). • Siri and Shortcuts: say "Start captioning with Live CC", or add it to the Action button. • Control Center: start captions with one tap from Control Center or the Lock Screen. • Now available in Spanish, French, and German. • Improved accessibility: finished captions are sent to braille displays through VoiceOver, Magic Tap starts and stops captioning, and layouts adapt better to large text sizes. • A new animated waveform that responds to your voice. • Fewer interruptions: Live CC now asks only for microphone access. • Fixes: saved transcripts no longer miss the last few words, and colors are easier to read in Dark Mode. As always, all speech processing happens on your device. Your conversations never leave your phone.

Does what it says

It transcribes almost instantaneously

Ehh

I bought this for my mother so that she could hear the speaker at her church. Learned that unless you speak directly into the mic it doesn’t work. Aka: a $3 donation

Not good.

No ability to increase text size. Audio to text isn’t great at all. Needs improving for the price that it is. Not worth it.

Life game changer thank you Todd! 🙏

This program works great if you train it. I went to ef-Australia.com.au
There I found; 3000 most common words in English
It took a couple of days but what a difference it made. When I came to a word that the putt had troubles understanding I used the word in a sentence that was used the word properly, such as: divided. I said the word last in the sentence and when it typed it correctly I repeated it in the end like this. The group of people were divided. Divided. Thank you for this Todd!
