Availability of live captions/transcriptions for Zendesk Talk calls?

One of our agents has requested the ability to add auto-generated live captions (or transcripts after the fact as a work-around) to Zendesk Talk calls to aid in sensory processing.

I have been able to find some apps like Support Scribe that offer after-the-fact transcriptions for Talk calls, but I am curious whether anyone in the community has found a solution for live captions for calls. 

These captions would be helpful aids in cases where call quality is low, a caller speaks very quietly, or where an agent needs some visual help parsing audio-only information. 

Has anyone found a solution that works for their team?

I did some more testing and Chrome's Live Caption feature works pretty well with all in-browser audio (including live calls via Talk) and can be enabled here:
