systemwide subtitles for linux

Hey guys I'm currently working on a presentation about accessibility and I noticed that Linux seams not to have any systemwide subtitle support like windows 11 and MacOs(beta feature). Does anyone of you know a project that can do that or is there simply no solution for this problem.

Would LiveCaptions work? https://github.com/abb128/LiveCaptions
- Yes it work with English content very well. You can rerout all your audio to it via helvum. The big problem is that it only has 3 languages supported English, French and Polish. So it technicality works but not in German unfortunately. But I can say now it partly works on Linux.
