Live Captioning

[nikt]

Google Chrome and Safari browser have live captioning feature to enable deaf and hard of hearing people like myself to follow the dialogues on the video. Live Captioning will caption the video automatically if the audio of any voice is detected just like dragon speaking software. Firefox should include that feature to increase availability of the accessibility features packed in the browser.

Please consider adding this feature. It's an accessibility win.

AgentVirtuel - A Screen Reader does not provide live captioning for content. That's not applicable here.
We need accessibility for hearing-impaired users; not visually-impaired (as a screen reader would assist)

I use Chrome for live captioning. I've switched to Ubuntu, so I'd like to stick with Firefox but it is a major dealbreaker when there is no live captioning. Please consider this a higher priority.
