Live translation and transcription
What is it?
The live translation and transcription feature in Zoho Tables for iOS allows you to automatically transcribe and translate speech from attached audio/videos. When a audio/video file is added to a record, Zoho Tables, powered by Apple Intelligence, analyzes the audio, converts the spoken content into text, and translates it into the language you choose.
This helps teams quickly understand audio/video content without manually listening and translating it themselves. Think of it as a built-in assistant that turns speech into readable and translated text, making audio/video content easier to share across teams.
