At the Annual Google India Conference, officials made several announcements that exceeded expectations. One major announcement was that YouTube in India will allow users to change the language of videos, provided that the video is available in other languages. This feature will benefit both creators and viewers.
However, it should be noted that this feature is currently under development and is only available for healthcare videos with certain limitations. Despite being a relatively new feature, it has generated a lot of excitement among users who are eager to use it. In this article, we will discuss this feature in more detail.
Google’s annual conference: Now you can listen to YouTube videos in multiple languages.
Previously, YouTube creators had to transcribe their videos into multiple languages in order to reach their intended audience. This added an additional step to the process of creating and publishing a video on YouTube. However, thanks to YouTube India and Ishan John Chatterjee (Director), this process has been made easier. Recognizing the bilingual nature of Indian society, this feature allows creators to reach a wider audience.
There is an audio track option available, which allows users to change the language of a video. Currently, this feature is limited to healthcare videos and supports English, Hindi, Marathi, and Punjabi. There is no option to ensure that a video is available for transcription, but you can check through the audio track option. To use this feature, simply play a YouTube video that supports multiple languages, tap on the audio track, and select the language you want to transcribe it to.
At its annual conference, Google announced its upcoming project, Aloud, which was initially developed by the Area 120 accelerator. This AI-powered solution will be of great benefit to creators, as it will save them time and effort when transcribing their YouTube content. Currently, Aloud is limited to health care-related content and is available in the aforementioned languages.
In addition, YouTube plans to offer skill-based courses next year under the project Vaani Thaf. The goal of this project is to develop an AI model that can represent and speak to all Indians. Soon, you will also be able to use AI to identify medical prescriptions, making your life easier. Overall, these new features demonstrate Google’s commitment to improving the user experience on its platforms.
In conclusion, these YouTube-related announcements showcase how technology is expected to evolve in the near future. Specifically, we discussed the AI-powered Aloud and multi-language video transcription. At this time, these are only details, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them below.
