For example, if the phone is set to spanish, the app will caption spanish results. New microphone stays open for longer periods to stream caption with no interruptions. Use the microphone in the keyboard. Recommend using Android 5.0 and greater for this advanced microphone. The previous auto microphone at the top of screen was malfunctioning and had to be removed.
