TikTok now lets you turn on subtitles for any video, making it even easier to grow your video’s audience.
TikTok is a platform that provides very simple core functionality, even some would say basic, but that needs to be constantly improved to ensure that the experience is always the most successful, most complete and most effective. Like Twitter. This requires very frequent deployment of both new features and modifications, subtle or not, to some of the existing ones.
TikTok now lets you turn on subtitles for any video
Now, for example, you no longer need to wait for the TikTok star to activate subtitles in order to be able to enjoy them in one or another of your videos. In its latest update, TikTok has added auto-generated captions, a feature you can activate at any time. This will obviously help those with hearing problems, as well as users in general who want to watch and understand videos in noisy environments.
Enough to easily expand the audience of the video
The social network also added translations for subtitles and text stickers. And if you’re not sure what’s happening on the screen, there are video descriptions. Languages supported at launch include English, German, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish. Therefore, no French yet.
These additions are a reflection of TikTok’s desire to emphasize that video is not limited to people with any kind of audiovisual impairment. It also helps strengthen communities of people with disabilities, as content creators can easily reach a wider audience.
