Samsung Electronics plans to introduce a real-time call translation service using AI technology next year. This feature aims to simplify conversations across different languages, making it as easy as “turning on closed captions.”
As one of several tech companies investing significantly in the global artificial intelligence landscape, Samsung, the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, is incorporating this real-time translation into its upcoming Galaxy flagship model set to launch early next year.
The new feature will facilitate real-time translation in both audio and text while callers are on the line. It is noteworthy that this translation capability will extend to non-Samsung smartphones, thanks to the utilization of “on-device AI technology” in the new model. The exact number of supported languages has not been specified yet.
Samsung emphasizes the user-friendly nature of this innovation, comparing it to the simplicity of turning on closed captions for streaming shows.
Furthermore, the company assures users that private conversations conducted through this translation service will be securely stored on the phones. This move underscores Samsung’s commitment to leveraging AI to enhance user experiences and break down language barriers in real-time communication.
