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.
