Twitter is providing automatic subtitles for videos. Starting on Wednesday, December 15th, the long-awaited feature begins to roll out globally for iOS, Android, and the web. The automatic subtitle function currently supports 37 languages. Since there is no real-time translation on Twitter, the subtitles will be displayed in the language of the device originally used to upload the clip. Automatic subtitles will appear on muted videos on iOS and Android. On the other hand, desktop users can turn them on and off. Hearing impaired users can now watch videos with automatic captions on Twitter, which expands the reach of more users on the platform.
The Twitter support team posted a tweet about the new update on December 15. The company confirmed that starting today, all users on Android, iOS, and the Web can use automatic subtitles for videos. As mentioned earlier, with the new feature, Twitter users can automatically see subtitles when watching silent videos on their mobile devices. Twitter’s automatic subtitles currently support more than 30 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, German, Hindi, Tamil, etc. Twitter pointed out that automatic subtitles will now be displayed in silent videos on iOS and Android, and you can also turn off the device’s sound and click the CC button on the desktop to view the automatic subtitle text.
The social media company has recently made many notable changes to its platform and Twitter Spaces. It has teamed up with Instagram to simplify cross-posting by launching Twitter Card previews on Android, iOS, and the web. In addition, Twitter has added a new privacy-related feature that allows users to delete followers without blocking them. Once a Twitter user deletes someone, that user’s tweets will no longer automatically appear in their timeline. It is currently available on the web version.
