Webex is introducing a new real-time translation feature for its conferencing software. The feature allows you to translate from English to over 100 languages. The need for translation software is growing as more people spend time on video calls during the pandemic.
“The transformation of the workplace during the pandemic has accelerated the use of real-time translation,” said Michael Stevens, vice president at Translated, a company that uses both human translators and artificial intelligence.
“Everyone, regardless of location or language spoken, can now understand and be understood better than ever before, and enterprises are demanding accessibility in their products. Participants no longer have to make do with limited understanding due to language in meetings.”
