This project provides a web-based live captioning tool (based on the Web Speech API) that utilizes speech recognition to transcribe spoken language into text in real-time. The interface is designed to be user-friendly, with customizable settings for language selection, font size, text alignment, caption colors, and real-time translation capabilities.

• Real-Time Speech Recognition: Captions are generated in real-time using the browser's speech recognition capabilities.
• Language Selection: Choose from a wide range of languages and dialects.
• Real-Time Translation: Toggle live translation of captions to your preferred language using the unofficial Google Translate API.
• Customizable Interface:
  • Adjust font size, text alignment, and caption colors.
  • Separate color settings for original captions and translations.
  • Display both language name and code (e.g., Slovak (sk-SK)) for better clarity.
• Persistent Settings: User preferences for language, font size, alignment, colors, and translation settings are saved in local storage.
• Dual Caption Display: View both original speech and translated text simultaneously when translation is enabled.

1. Open the HTML File: Simply open the LCC.html (For Chrome) / LCC2.html (For MS Edge) (or the webpage https://davidisth.github.io/LCC/LCC.html / https://davidisth.github.io/LCC/LCC2.html) file in a modern web browser that supports speech recognition (e.g., Google Chrome) (see specifications here: Web Speech API).
2. Start Captions: The application will automatically start listening and displaying captions.
3. Customize Settings:
   • Press the Spacebar to switch between selected languages.
