Skype Will Live-Caption Video Calls

Skype will soon live-caption video calls To help people who are deaf or hearing impaired. The news was revealed in an earlier announcement that PowerPoint will also be getting real-time captions and subtitles. Both features will rely on the company’s artificial intelligence work.

Live captions and subtitles will auto-scroll during a call, although eventually, users will be able to scroll through captions in a side window if they don’t want to see words overlaid on their call. The captions and subtitles will be available through Skype version 8 on Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, and Windows, as well as Skype for Windows 10, although the rollout might take a while. The company also says it’s planning to roll out translations for more than 20 languages, but that’ll happen in the “coming weeks.”
