CCPlay

CCPlay turns the speech in the video you're watching into live captions and translation. Watch overseas livestreams, lectures, and shows, and see captions on top of the app you're already using.

■ FAQ

Q. Does it work with Netflix?

A. No. Apps that use DRM, such as Netflix, block audio capture, so no captions appear.

Q. Can it translate phone or video calls?

A. No. Android does not let other apps capture call audio.

Q. I don't see captions.

A. Make sure the video is actually playing sound and that you chose "Entire screen". Some apps block audio capture.

Q. Do I need internet?

A. Yes. Speech is recognized and translated in the cloud.

Q. When is my time used?

A. Only while translation is on. Turn it off when you finish watching.
