Looking for real time caption from microphone input on Chromebook

I am deaf. Chromebook has live captions for speech from videos or media on the web.

Is it possible to enable the microphone to caption speech from people in real life, nearby? The closest I can get to this function is to enable the microphone for dictation, then open a document to show that text.

The real life function was tested during a class today. Even small lapses in sound cause the mic to turn off. The user must then click on the screen to start again. The accuracy is very bad and there appears to be little spacing or punctuation.

If anyone has ideas, or wants to see a sample, I will cut and paste on request. Otherwise, if the answer is NO, it can't be done, I'll stop trying.

Thank you.

Thank you for the resource @Rudy21. This gets close but not exactly to my goal. The reason is that Tacquiq works for the main platforms, Meet, Zoom and Teams and does not capture speech transcription outside of these platforms, like Live Transcribe.
