LiveBridge
LiveBridge is an Android captioning and translation application for supported videos and broadcasts. It displays original and translated captions over other apps, with controls for language, text appearance, and window placement. Speech recognition runs on the phone, while translation sends text and language information to the operator's server after notice and consent. Separate screen-reading tools offer OCR translation and pronunciation references; protected screens and unsupported scripts are excluded. The app requires Android 11 or newer, overlay permissions, and supported playback capture. It does not provide universal access to every streaming app or protected recording. Its listing carefully distinguishes a one-time ad-free introductory period from an optional subscription trial, and users can earn limited caption time through rewarded ads. Captions and readings may contain errors or delays. Users should understand how to stop capture, since closing the app alone does not necessarily end an active sharing session. Internet and server availability remain necessary for translation.
