Zoom Translated Captions: A Powerful Tool for Global Communication

[aileenfelix]

Zoom: A platform that brings people together from around the globe, and recognizes the challenges posed by language barriers. To foster inclusivity and facilitate communication, Zoom offers translated captions. This feature eliminates the need for interpreters and third-party integrations, allowing for a more seamless experience for all participants. Whether you're a multinational corporation or a global educational institution, translated captions help break down language barriers and create a more welcoming environment in your meetings and webinars.

By breaking down language barriers, this feature makes Zoom meetings and webinars more accessible to a wider audience. It empowers participants to easily translate the spoken language into their preferred language, fostering collaboration and understanding in our interconnected world.



How Zoom Translated Captions Work:

Enable the Feature and Select Languages: Translated captions are simple to enable within the Zoom web portal. Once enabled, just set your preferred languages. 

Real-time Captions: The meeting host or co-host can now enable translated captions during a meeting. As participants speak, their words will be displayed in real-time captions at the bottom of the screen in the selected languages.

To view a complete transcript of your Zoom meeting, go to the Zoom web portal and enable "Full Transcript." Then, during the meeting, select "View Full Transcript" from the "Show Captions" menu. A window will appear on the right side of the interface, displaying the full transcript with the speaker's name next to each caption for easy reference.



With Zoom Translated Captions, you can:

-Improve Understanding: Ensures that everyone can follow the conversation, regardless of language barriers.

-Increase Engagement: Encourages participation from all attendees, leading to more productive and inclusive meetings.

-Enhance Accessibility: Provides a valuable tool for individuals with hearing impairments.

-Boost Global Collaboration: Facilitates effective communication and collaboration across diverse teams.

By utilizing Zoom Translated Captions, you can create more inclusive and accessible meetings that foster effective communication and collaboration across diverse teams and audiences.

Note: Translated captions are already included in the Zoom Workplace Business Plus and Zoom Workplace Enterprise Plus plans, but it is also available as an add-on for other paid Zoom accounts.
