Chromebook users will soon be able to auto-caption any media playing in their browser

Google has announced Some new features Chromebook is coming, including the company’s live caption, which will be added on Chrome “most” Chrome OS devices in the coming weeks. After live captions are available, users can flip them into accessibility settings to get captions for any media with audio inside their browser. Chrome was rolled out on Windows, Mac and Linux in March.

Google is also beefing up the Chrome OS Launcher, which lets you search for files and applications with some new capabilities, allowing you to do simple calculations and check weather, one-word definitions, and stock prices .

The search giant is also adding a new diagnostics app to Chrome OS that lets you position and run tests on your computer’s battery, CPU, and memory. This means that if your battery is not charged as long as you think it should be, you can run a battery discharge test in the Diagnostics app to see if anything is wrong.

New launcher capabilities and diagnostics apps were not available to a colleague of mine running Chrome OS, so they may not have been widely rolled out yet. We have asked Google for details about the rollout and will update if we hear back.
