TikTok adds an auto-captions feature
TikTok rolled out a new auto-captions feature for their app.
The feature —which right now supports American English and Japanese— will automatically transcribe the speech from a video.
The company says the new feature will make the app accessible to people who want to watch TikTok videos without sound. The feature will also allow people with hearing loss or hearing impairment to enjoy the app.
To enable auto caption, creators need to select the option on the editing page after uploading a video. They can also edit the auto-generated text to correct any mistakes before publishing.
Although on by default, viewers can turn off auto caption through an option found at the share panel.
