MicrosoftNow in public preview: Live Translated Captions in Meetings
Description
Users are now able to choose the Live Captions in the language they prefer, with the help of Microsoft Cognitive Service Speech Translation Capabilities. This will help users fully part...
Hi, we are slightly confused about the functionality. Say we have 4 people in a meeting where each one speaks in English, Hindi, Portugese, and Spanish. Shouldn't each user be able to select their spoken language and caption language differently from the rest? So that as they speak, everyone can speak in their own language, but they will see the captions in their language of choice and understand what others are saying. Is this not one of the intended functionalities here? When we tried to test this, we saw that there can be only one spoken language among all attendees. If anyone changes it, it overrides the previous selection and updates the spoken language for all.
bishwasg this is not the intended usecase. 1 spoken language , and the attendees can have caption in their own language.
- MatthiasRodler I know this might be redundant, but does this mean even 2 languages are not supported where one person is speaking in Portugese and the other in English and they wish to see the captions in their own languages? If this is not supported, do you know if this functionality is in the roadmap for any time soon?
- Only ONE spoken language is supported.
I am not aware of any planned multiple-language-feature. I think you are looking for this feature for business:
