Live Caption Formatter
Format and verify live captions for broadcast and streaming compliance
What You Can Do
This skill formats raw captions with speaker identification, precise timing, and platform-specific requirements for compliance. You can verify captions meet accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1, CEA-708) and broadcast regulations for major platforms like YouTube Live, Twitch, and Facebook Live. It automatically corrects timing drift, validates speaker labels, and ensures compliance verification before you go live.
