Overview

Apple previewed new accessibility features coming later this year, notably automatic captions for personal videos.

For videos without existing captions, a new on‑device speech‑recognition model can generate captions for spoken audio. The feature works for videos you record on your iPhone, videos received from friends and family, and videos streamed online.

Availability

• Initially limited to English in the United States and Canada.
• Captions are generated privately on the device.
• Appearance can be customized in the video playback menu or the Settings app.
• Supported across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro.
• Expected rollout with iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27 later this year.

Timeline

Apple announced the feature on Monday, June 8 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. More details on implementation are expected in the coming weeks.
