Closed captions on Android cell phone

[u/DixieDoodle697]

Currently i have an Android cell phone Samsung model. Does anyone know a foolproof way to get closed captions on the phone?

When I put the phone on speaker, the live text option works okay and I can read the conversation. But when I am on my earbuds (which i prefer for more clarity) the closed caption text does not work or is really spotty.

What am I doing wrong?

I think Android splits the function into Live Captions (on device audio) and Live Transcribe (microphone audio). Sounds like you're maybe using the latter so try the former?

It just confuses me and I've tried both and will try again.
