Weak and weary over many a quaint and curious Once Upon a Midnight dreary while I pondered This wasn’t surprising, since Google has been playing with voice recognition and captioning with several of its services. While Meet seemed to favor run-on sentences, its accuracy, at least with this one example, was well beyond that of Teams. As with Teams, the captions move up from the bottom in this case, however, there are up to five lines visible at a time. In the caption box, the speaker is identified with a name and icon. At that point, your video will move up and there will be a black bank between that and the bottom menu where your captions will appear.

I sat about my usual distance away from the screen.
