The massive social media platform has many accessibility features in its arsenal. The latest one is the auto-caption and it supports 37 languages for videos within tweets. The feature has been around for some time now. But many users share that it hasn't been rolled out to their accounts yet.
We should also add that the auto-captions are not editable. So if you detect an error in the CC, you will not be able to fix it. But we know that the social media giant is planning to add the editable captions feature in the new updates. Auto-translation is also in the works.
