Facebook Makes Video Captions Available to More People Using AI
(Facebook Expands Its AI-Powered Captioning For Videos)
Facebook announced today it is making its automatic video caption feature work for more creators. The tool uses artificial intelligence to create subtitles for videos shared on Facebook. This expansion means many more people making videos can use it.
The AI captioning tool helps people understand videos without sound. This is useful in places where playing sound is difficult or for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The captions appear on the screen while the video plays.
Previously, this feature was only available to some creators and pages. Now, Facebook is rolling it out much more widely. More creators will see the option to add automatic captions when they upload a new video.
The AI system listens to the audio track of the video. It then generates written words that match what is said. It also adds these words to the screen at the right time. The captions are created quickly after upload. The system supports multiple languages.
Facebook said this change helps creators reach wider audiences. Viewers can follow videos even when they cannot listen. Creators do not need to spend time writing captions themselves. The automatic feature saves them effort.
