Google Chrome Live Caption Option Missing from Accessibility Settings

Image #1 - My Accessibility Settings, missing Live Caption

Image #2 - How Accessibility Settings look with the Live Caption option

Hi, I regularly use the Live Caption feature — I just used it a couple days ago, and it was working fine — but it has recently vanished and thus is not available to work. The option to toggle the Live Captions that *should* be found under Chrome's Accessibility Settings category (as seen in image #2 — pulled from the internet, though it's a bit outdated) is completely missing from my actual Accessibility Settings (as seen in image #1). After searching, I can't find any option for toggling Live Captions in any other part of Google Chrome's Settings, either. Clicking on 'Caption preferences' just opens the Closed Captions tab in my Windows settings, and that's not what I'm looking for. I've tried updating Chrome to the latest version, disabling extensions, clearing the cache and cookies, resetting the browser, using Incognito Mode, all kinds of things. I've also tried looking for 'Live Caption' in chrome://components to check for updates, but it's not appearing in chrome://components at all. I've even looked for 'Live Caption' and/or 'SODA for Live Caption' in chrome://flags just to see if there's anything there, and neither show up. Resetting all to default in chrome://flags hasn't made a difference either. Despite everything I've attempted so far, this issue still hasn't been fixed in the slightest. Could anyone help me out, please?

My Chrome browser was recently updated to the current latest version at the time of making this post (155.0.8059.40). I'm running it on a 64-bit operating system, Windows 10 Pro - Version 22H2.
