There has been a remarkable development regarding the world’s most popular internet browser, Google Chrome. The live caption translation feature, which Google is known to be working on for a while, is now testable by users. The new feature seems to revolutionize users’ Chrome experiences.
The new feature in Google Chrome will consist of a small drop-down menu. This small menu, which users can carry wherever they want, will automatically detect speech during video or live broadcasts and offer translated text in the form of subtitles. Thanks to this feature, the user will be able to better understand what is being said in a video he watches.
Here’s what Google Chrome’s new feature will look like
Let’s say you watch a video on YouTube in English or a different foreign language and you don’t like YouTube’s own translation system. Here, Google Chrome’s live subtitle translation feature will come into play in such cases. The feature that needs to be activated before starting the video will run automatically when the video starts. The system, which will start to translate the audio in the video into text in its original language, will instantly translate the text it creates into the specified language.
The Accessibility section on Google Chrome’s settings page will begin to offer more options for this new feature. Users will be able to download language packs and customize the usage experience as they wish when the feature is available for everyone. The feature, which supports English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Japanese languages by default, can be removed for all of these languages if desired. If the user goes to the settings page and clicks on the trash icon next to the language pack they don’t want, the translation feature will be removed for that language.
The innovation, which is not known when it will be released to the public, will be most important for users who watch videos outside of YouTube. With this feature, live captions can be created for any video on any site. Of course, there is also the truth side of things. We will see over time how well Google’s live caption translation feature will understand the words in the videos and how they will make them a meaningful whole.
