If you own a Google Pixel, things are a bit extra. A simple toggle might not cut it. You might need to go to Settings > System > Live Caption. No, that’s for captions.
Actually, for Pixel, just go to Settings > Accessibility > Live Transcribe & Sound Notifications. Turn that off if it’s hijacking your microphone. It’s a whole different beast. Trust me, just flip it.
Or, you know, just use the first method. It works 99% of the time. I’m just covering my bases so you don’t email me later, yelling.
