Google reverts Pixel Live Caption accessibility change
Google has reversed a controversial change made last year that made it difficult for Pixel users to access the Live Caption feature. With the latest Android Canary build, the Live Caption toggle is now back under the volume slider, allowing users to enable the feature with a single tap. The previous process involved multiple steps, frustrating users who relied on Live Caption for accessibility.
Pixel users will soon benefit from this rollback, simplifying the activation of Live Caption without the need for unnecessary steps. Google's decision to listen to user feedback and make this change shows a commitment to enhancing accessibility features on the Pixel devices.

Google's move to restore the Live Caption toggle to its original location showcases a commitment to user experience improvement. This change will benefit individuals with hearing impairments and make the feature more accessible for all Pixel users. As Google continues to innovate and refine Android's UI, users can expect a more seamless and intuitive experience on their Pixel devices.

Users can look forward to a smoother and more user-friendly experience on their Pixel devices with the reinstatement of the Live Caption toggle under the volume slider. This change reflects Google's responsiveness to user feedback and commitment to improving accessibility features for all users.
