¡Hola! Bonjour! Ciao! Live stream auto-generated captions now speaks six languages
Blog post from Mux
Mux Video has introduced a new feature that allows for auto-generated captions in six languages—English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish—during live streams, enhancing accessibility for global audiences. This development is crucial as live captions are increasingly becoming a requirement due to regulations like the European Accessibility Act (EAA) that mandates digital services to be accessible to people with disabilities. The process involves real-time audio processing to generate accurate captions despite the unpredictability of live audio, including background noise and multiple speakers. The new language options for live captions are available at no additional cost, reflecting Mux Video's commitment to accessibility and affordability. Users can specify their desired language when setting up or updating a live stream, facilitating broader market reach and compliance with accessibility standards. Future plans include expanding language support and improving model accuracy to further enhance the live streaming experience.
