Both Microsoft and Google Teams meet have closed subtitles.
Two recently made available for free video conferencing services — Google Meet and Microsoft Teams — now both offer built-in closed subscription. I tried to see how exact they were out of curiosity.
I did not use any specific equipment — I just started a meeting with the MacBook Pro 13-inch 2017, using the system camera and microphone as I do with most business meetings. I've sat away from the computer around my normal reach. I read the first verse of "The Raven" from Edgar Allan Poe to learn how well it was interpreted.
MICROSOFT TEAMS
Two new videoconferencing companies, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, are providing all integrated closed subscribing companies. I tried both to see how exact they were out of curiosity.
I haven't used any special equipment — I've just started a meeting using MacBook Pro 13 "in 2017, using a setup and mic camera for most business meetings. I have sat away from the computer for my normal time. I then read the first verse of the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, to see how well it has translated into the subtitles.
Teams have recently added the abilities to use closed subtitles at their meetings — the feature is actually labeled a "preview," so it is probably still underway. It's really quick to turn: once you've begun your meeting, press the three points in the "Live Titles" menu and pick "Turn Live Titles."
Two lines of text are shown in teams' closed subtitles a couple of seconds above the bottom of the frame. The AI visibly corrects itself takes a moment for each line. While most of that worked, teams were actually right at first — "chamber door" — and then "chambered" or correct.
GOOGLE MEET
Like for teams, closed subtitles at Meet are very easy to enable: click "Turn on subtitles" below the window. You will be going up at this stage, and a black bank will be placed between the menu and the bottom menu.
The label box has a name and an symbol in the speaker. Like teams, the titles go from the bottom; but up to five lines are visible at a time in this case.
Although Meet seemed to favor run-on sentences, its accuracy was far beyond the team's accuracy, at least with that example. It was no wonder Google played voice recognition with several of its services .. This was not surprising.
In the beginning, it can not appear that it is an important function to choose the service to use when choosing your video meetings. Remember, however, that you may have relatives, family or colleagues for whom the submission is not a privilege, but a requirement.
