    Closed Captioning OBS plugin using Google Speech Recognition

  • 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.
