Microsoft Edge will soon offer real-time translation and dubbing of videos on various platforms, including YouTube. This new functionality results from the integration of the Copilot AI assistant into the browser.
Microsoft Edge, the default browser in Windows 11, continues to be enriched with new features thanks to theartificial intelligence. In April, the integration of the assistant AI Copilot helped improve writing skills by providing rewriting suggestions and sentence structuring tips. The browser also introduced options for handwriting with digital pens. However, Microsoft has also been criticized for its aggressive attempts to promote Edge through invasive pop-ups. Despite these controversies, the company continues to innovate by integrating advanced functions.
Soon, Microsoft Edge will allow you to translate and dub videos in real time on platforms such as Youtube, LinkedIn and Coursera. This feature, made possible by the integration of Copilot, Microsoft’s AI assistant, promises to significantly improve the accessibility and understanding of video content. Users will be able to receive text and voice translations simultaneously while playing videos.
Edge will allow real-time translation of videos on Youtube
This new ability to real-time translation of Edge is a significant step forward from existing tools. Currently, it allows translations from English to German, Hindi, Italian, Russian and Spanish, as well as from Spanish to English. We can imagine that French should follow soon. By making videos easier to understand, this feature is also particularly useful for people with hearing problemsas well as for those who wish to follow content in foreign languages.
In addition to YouTube, Microsoft Edge will support real-time translation and dubbing for news sites like Reuters, CNBC and Bloomberg. Microsoft is working to gradually expand the list of languages and supported websites. Edge already offers AI-powered features like YouTube video summaries. With these new translation and dubbing capabilities, it continues to position itself as an innovative and practical browser for daily use.
