Zoom is adding live translation services and arriving on Facebook VR

Zoom plans to grow its support for automatic live transcriptions with the expansion of live translation, and transform its whiteboard feature into an all the more a completely highlighted application, among a few different changes the organization reported at its Zoomtopia conference on Monday.

Programmed live transcriptions/shut captions in English were reported to be coming to free Zoom accounts in February 2021. Presently Zoom says it “plans to provide real-time transcription for (as many as 30 additional languages) by the end of next year.”
