Microsoft Edge will translate and dub YouTube videos as you’re watching them

May 21, 2024 - theverge.com
Microsoft Edge is set to offer real-time video translation on platforms such as YouTube, LinkedIn, Coursera, and more. The AI-powered feature, announced at this year's Build event, will translate spoken content through dubbing and subtitles live, initially supporting translation from Spanish to English and English to German, Hindi, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. The feature aims to make videos more accessible to those who are deaf or hard of hearing and will also support real-time translation for videos on news sites like Reuters, CNBC, and Bloomberg.

Microsoft plans to expand the feature by adding more languages and supported websites in the future. This is part of the array of AI features Microsoft has integrated into Edge through Copilot. Edge already has the ability to summarize YouTube videos, but this relies on the video's transcript to create the summary.

Key takeaways:

  • Microsoft Edge will soon offer real-time video translation on sites like YouTube, LinkedIn, Coursera, and more, with the ability to translate spoken content through both dubbing and subtitles live.
  • The feature currently supports the translation of Spanish into English and English to German, Hindi, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
