Am no expert in this area, yet your question deserves some response.


Yes, seems so. It is generally the software versions installed on iPad models that provide the live captions

See Apple Support's online article (link below) for iPadOS 18, the most recent software for all compatible iPads.

Get live captions of spoken audio on iPad - Apple Support

Eg: says:


"Set up and customize Live Captions

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Live Captions, then turn on Live Captions.
  2. Tap Appearance to customize the text, size, and color of the captions.
  3. By default, Live Captions are shown across all apps. To get live captions only for certain apps such as FaceTime or RTT, turn them on below In-App Live Captions."


All the best :-)
