How to enable Live Captions in visionOS 2

With visionOS 2, the Live Captions feature provides users with real‑time transcriptions of speech, audio, and video content. 

With Live Captions, you can get a real-time transcription of spoken audio. Use Live Captions to more easily follow the audio in any app, such as FaceTime or Podcasts, and in live conversations around you.

However, you should note that Live Captions is not available in all languages, countries or regions. Apple says that the accuracy of Live Captions may vary and shouldn’t be relied upon in high-risk or emergency situations.
