I would like to see Twitch become a more accessible place. One way to do this is to have live closed captions on every video, no matter language or status. Of course, providing official captions is impossible for some channels. To remedy this, I would like to see the implementation of automatic/auto-generated captions. This would resolve the issue for people who do not have a person or software to provide the captions. Then, people could choose between that and whatever official captions the channel provides.
YouTube is starting to provide automatic captioning to channels above 1k subscribers. Facebook already has it. There are even a few third-party OBS Studio plugins which use already made transcribers such as Google and Microsoft text-to-speech: https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin . It would be great to have it right in the platform instead of some software that not everyone can handle.
It would also be cool to give the already existing extensions a chance to provide closed captions as well. Maybe they could even become a "caption" rather than just an overlay, component, panel and/or mobile extension.
Furthermore, instead of the Closed Captioning Stream Tag, there should be a Closed Captioning Automatic Tag to denote which channels have live closed-captioning. The Closed Captioning Stream Tag could then be replaced with a Captions, to include open and closed captions.
However it may be, adding auto-generated live closed captions to every piece of media would be a great help to those who are unable to hear the audio.

Until this is implemented, some resources include:
OBS Studio closed captions third-party plugin: https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin
Open captions: https://webcaptioner.com/
