Speaker 1: COVID-19. COVID-19. COVID-19. Hi, my name's Dr. Benfineo and I make Zoom tutorials. I just made one about Zoom's built-in live auto-transcription feature, which is pretty good with one glaring error. Apparently, it can't interpret COVID-19. If there's one thing you think it would get right over the last year, that would be it. I've been trying this for about 15 minutes now, and so far I've gotten to say Kobe, Coven, Covered, and most concerningly Korean, but pretty much everything but COVID. COVID. COVID. So, certainly not to criticize any employees at Zoom, clearly auto-transcription is great for accessibility for online learning, but if anyone sees this, that is one that you guys might want to fix. If you're interested in more tutorials about teaching and learning online with Zoom, check out the links in the description below this video. Thank you.

“I've got one document translation using the API and it worked fine. One suggestion is that it would be better if the translation service can maintain the format of original document like text alignment and font styles. Thanks.”

“I used the human translation service and must admit, was sceptical at first as the cost seemed so low especially for a same day service. I was pleasantly surprised when within 10 hours the transcript was delivered, a perfect translation, only two minor typos which considering the size of the document, was impressive. I am in the UK and there were a couple of US spellings of British words, but that is not an error or criticism, but worth noting to British users. The document has time stamps and where audio was not legible, clearly shows this with timestamps. I have no hesitation of given 5 stars for this service and will not hesitate to recommend it.”
