YouTube and TikTok want to be more accessible by expanding subtitle support for their users. While YouTube is improving its already existing usage, TikTok is introducing automatic subtitle support for all clips.
Caption feature has been available on Instagram for a long time. Snapchat, on the other hand, recently introduced a filter based on the ASL alphabet. The arrangements made by the platforms for the hearing-impaired recently started to attract attention. So, what are the details of TikTok and YouTube subtitle features? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
TikTok and YouTube will now be more accessible!
YouTube announced that creators can outsource captioning and editing of videos in the YouTube Studio app. In this way, videos will be edited more easily and smoothly. This feature will be managed from the “Permissions and Subtitle Editor” section in YouTube Studio for external editing.
TikTok turns on automatic subtitles in English for all videos. He wants to reach the person. Subtitles will appear automatically and will be turned off if the user wishes. In addition, the texts can be added by the video owner and the language can be changed with other options.
Its new features for YouTube and TikTok don’t seem to be a major feature for everyone. But for the more than 70 million deaf people living around the world, it’s a significant development.
