Minimum Requirements for TalkType

• TalkType requires access to audio in order to generate live captions.

  The device running TalkType must be able to receive the audio as a microphone/input source within the operating system. Once connected, this input can then be selected within the app.

  Depending on your setup, this may involve:

  using the device’s built-in microphone,

  connecting an external microphone, or

  connecting an audio feed via USB or a USB audio interface/adaptor.

  If the audio source is not detected by the operating system as an input device, Caption.Ed will not be able to receive audio for captioning.
