The closed captioning functionality for Clubhouse's iOS app has begun to go out. The long-awaited feature automatically creates live transcriptions during an audio session, allowing listeners to follow along with the speaker in text format. Following the recent upgrade, people with disabilities may now use the audio-only social networking platform. In this sense, the new function will complement the app's overall marketing strategy.
Clubhouse's main competitor in the audio market, Twitter Spaces, already has live captioning. The change was posted via Clubhouse's official Twitter account, along with an example. In live rooms, users with the newest version of the iOS app may utilize the function. According to TechCrunch, the closed captioning technology is presently accessible in 13 languages. English, Cantonese, Mandarin Chinese, Yue Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Turkish are just a few of the languages available.
A total of 12 languages are reportedly under beta testing. There's also no news on when closed captioning will be accessible on Clubhouse's Android app. Clubhouse has added a slew of new accessibility features to its audio-chat platform, making it even more user-friendly. Clubhouse has launched 13 more languages to its Android app to compete with Twitter Spaces, Facebook, and Instagram, including French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Malayalam, Portuguese (Brazilian), Spanish, Tamil, and Telugu.
Clubhouse will also allow users to record and playback talks as well as download 30-second segments to distribute on social media and other websites. In October, the app unveiled a new pinned links function that allows users to share external links and earn money on the site. It has also included a function that allows users to digitally wave at pals inside the app to indicate that they are available for a private discussion. When someone accepts the wave, a private audio chat room will appear.
