Get captions for FaceTime calls

Turn on captions during FaceTime calls or try our dedicated InnoCaption Video Call app

Updated today

The InnoCaption app cannot caption FaceTime calls. However, Apple offers built-in captions for FaceTime calls. To turn this feature on, follow the steps below:

  1. During a video call in the FaceTime app, tap the screen to show the FaceTime controls (if they aren’t visible)

  2. Tap the three dots

  3. Tap Live Captions

Alternatively, you can try our dedicated app for captioned video calls, called InnoCaption Video. The benefits and features of InnoCaption Video include:

  • Fast, accurate captions: Users receive best-in-class captions that make it easy to understand the other party. To help ensure accuracy, both sides of the call are captioned.

  • Always-on display: Captions stay onscreen for the entire call in a dedicated space without having to be manually toggled on, keeping users in the flow of the conversation.

  • Customizable caption window: To maximize visibility, the caption display can be resized and the text size can be adjusted live on the call with simple touch controls.

  • Flexible access for contacts: Users can invite friends and family to download the app and connect with them for easy calling. They can also share one-time web links for browser-based video calls.

  • Cross-platform compatibility: InnoCaption Video works across iOS and Android, letting users connect with the people they care about no matter what platform they’re on.

  • Optimized for personal hearing devices: For easier listening, users can stream the call audio to personal hearing devices like hearing aids or cochlear implants.
