Is there a way to programmatically detect if the Live Captions feature is enabled in the accessibility settings? I'm working on an app that delivers spoken tests to people. When that feature is on we are not able to reliably verify people's understanding of speech as the audio is transcribed to text.
I checked the accessibility doc but didn't find anything that fits.

I'm working on the improvement of Voice Over support for the application which delivers language tests to end-users. The app asks a user to provide a verbal response to test questions that are recorded by the app. Tests have a form of timed assessment so the time span allocated for response providing is absolutely critical (cannot be extended).
When a test is taken with a VO enabled there is a chance that a user will activate an element and VO readout will be recorded by the app as a part of a response which will impact the user's score.
As we didn't find any option to silence/disable VO during the recording we minimized the number of active elements during the test (there is only one left). However, there is still a chance that a user will activate it or refresh a focus and the response will be impacted.
Do any of you guys have some experience with similar cases? Is there anything we missed? All the accommodation-related recommendations suggest letting the user start the recording/playback whenever he/she is ready but this is not an option for us due to the nature of the test.
Any help appreciated.
