OBS-captions-plugin VS obs-websocket

If you'd rather use a plugin instead of an extension, this can work. This runs as a plugin within OBS. https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin

There are also OBS live captions plugins that you can install to pop up text as you speak: https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin

I wouldn't call it a regular/normal thing at all but it's very possible. Twitch does have an API that lets users connect their bots and there are many livestream Closed Captioning tools that can transcribe livestreams to text in real time.

The solution that we will look at in this post will focus on broadcasting to an Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS) live stream from OBS Studio. OBS doesn't offer native support for captioning, but there are a number of plugins available that can perform the necessary speech to text conversion and publish the captions to an RTMP stream in the CEA-708/EIA-608 format that is supported by Amazon IVS. For this demo, I've chosen to use the OBS-captions-plugin by ratwithacompiler (GitHub and plugin page). To get started with this plugin, download it and install it. Once you've got it installed in OBS, click on Docks and make sure the Captions dock is enabled.

I think it would be a good addition, should be fairly simple to do with a plugin like this one: https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin

I use two SST to live-translate audio that I listen to so I can look back (in paragraph form) to see things that I or the youtube has previously said: https://github.com/coqui-ai/STT https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin

This started out of nowhere - and the only thing I can think of is that I downloaded the OBS Websocket Plugin, though I have it disabled.

I believe controlling a remote OBS instance can be done using the web socket plugin. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket

If you want to get really fancy, OBS websocket might be worth a look. You can then react to in-game events with some direct scene changes in OBS. There is basically no limit for your creativity.

The only tip I'd have would be for Wayland users who suffer from not having global shortcuts work with OBS: obs-cli with obs-websocket have you covered. Set a keyboard shortcut or Stream Deck button (using streamdeck-ui) to execute an obs-cli command and you're done.

In another topic it was also mentioned that there is a Legacy Websocket plugin to allow the original PCPanel software to still connect.

NDI is a video transport over network solution, NOT a remote control solution. If you want to change scene's over a network connection you'd want to look at something like obs-websockets - https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket OR something like Touch Portal - https://www.touch-portal.com/

Grab the OBS WebSocket 4.9.1 Compat plugin from GitHub. BarRaider's OBS tools doesn't support OBS 28's WebSocket version yet.

The original 4.9.1 doesn't work in OBS 28, which may be the issue. If you're on OBS 28.x and need websocket 4.x then make sure you're using 4.9.1-compat
