With a lot of people adopting the work from home regimen to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus, zoom gained immense popularity last year.
Zoom video communications, inc is an American communications technology company, which provides video telephony and online chat services through a cloud-based peer-to-peer software platform.
The company has since been working to upgrade its security features, admin control, audio quality, and a lot more. Zoom has now announced through an official blog post, that it will make the paid live transcription feature available to all users for free in 2021.
The live transcription refers to the automatic closed captioning feature in zoom. It is an AI-powered feature that shows users in a call the captions at the bottom of the display.
How to enable closed captioning feature
Once you’ve received access to the captioning feature, head to the Zoom website and click on “Account Management”, followed by “Account Settings”. Now, click on the “Meeting” tab to see whether ‘Closed Caption’ is enabled or not.
Also, you should know that Live Transcription only supports the English language at the moment. Its accuracy depends on a multitude of factors, including the speaker’s clarity, background noise, proficiency in the English language, and dialects. The other accessibility features available on Zoom are pinning or spotlighting interpreter video, screen reader support, and more.
