Microsoft Edge To Translate And Dub YouTube Videos In Real Time

Microsoft Edge will soon bring a unique and useful feature for its users. The new feature will provide real-time video translation on sites like YouTube, LinkedIn, Coursera, and others. 

During this year’s Build event, Microsoft announced that the new AI-powered feature will translate spoken content through dubbing as well as subtitles live when the users are watching.

As of now, the feature supports the translation of Spanish into English as well as the translation of English to German, Hindi, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.

Microsoft Edge’s AI Features To Help Deaf People

Apart from the dubbing feature, the browser will also offer a new way to translate videos for users in their native tongue. Edge’s new AI feature will also be able to make videos more accessible to people who are deaf or find it hard to hear.

Besides, Microsoft Edge will also have support for real-time translation of videos on news sites such as Reuters, CNBC, and Bloomberg. The company plans on adding more languages and supported websites in the coming days.

This adds to the already existing AI feature that the company has added to the browser through an integration with Copilot. Microsoft Edge already has the ability to summarize YouTube videos, but it won’t be able to generate text summaries of every video, as it depends on the video’s transcript to create the summary.

Microsoft Launches New Surface Pro AI PC

Microsoft has announced the launch of the new Surface Pro, the latest entry in its line of tablet/laptop hybrid devices and the first in a new generation of what the company likes to call Copilot Plus PCs. 

The numbers have now been eliminated from the model names, which seems to suggest a full reboot of the lineup. “Compared to previous Surface generations, it isn’t even close,” said Brett Ostrum, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of Surface, at a launch event.

Backed by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X processors (the Elite and the Plus versions), the company says this new Pro is 90% snappier than its precursor. It also offers optional 5G, which tends to come with Qualcomm support. Microsoft claims that the new Surface Pro will offer up to 14 hours of video playback, which isn’t as good as the 20 hours it claims for the new Surface Laptop but it is still great for the lineup.

Besides, the company has also brought an optional OLED screen, Wi-Fi 7 support, and a new keyboard attachment dubbed the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard. The new device comes with two USB 4 ports and comes in four colors, including a new shade of blue.
