Cisco Webex has announced the availability of its real-time translation feature, which will be available from this month on. Webex users will be able to review real-time translations from English to more than a 100 languages in real-time.
Users can create their own personalised Webex meeting experience by selecting languages of their choice. There are a whole host of languages available including Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Russian and Spanish, Danish, Hindi, Malay, Turkish, Vietnamese etc.
A personalised language option will help break through the language barrier and users will be able to engage better in meetings and communicate more effectively. Given that the world is still working from home and relying heavily on video conferencing and online meetings - a feature like this is quite helpful.
An internal research conducted by Cisco found that nearly 24% of the people who participated in the research take part in meetings that include non-English speaking native speakers and of these, more than half have been using third-party services to translate meetings into other languages (incurring an average cost of $172 per meeting). A built-in solution on a meeting platform helps reduce these costs significantly.
The expanded Real-Time Translation feature will be available in Webex as a preview starting this month and will be orderable and generally available in May.
