If your team struggles to get the most out of online training, language barriers can slow down learning and productivity. Microsoft’s new AI audio translation in Edge could change that for businesses across the GTA and Simcoe County.

Before trying this feature, make sure to book a FREE cybersecurity risk assessment to keep your systems protected while exploring new tech.

How Edge’s AI Translation Works

Edge can now translate spoken words in videos in real time, replacing the original audio with a version your staff can understand. This makes training sessions, webinars, and product demos instantly more useful, even if they’re in another language.

1. Getting Started

Once enabled in Edge’s settings, a small toolbar appears on supported websites like YouTube. When a video is in another language, Edge automatically generates a translated audio track while muting the original voice.

For businesses that rely on Microsoft tools every day, understanding updates like this can save hours. Learning about the true power of Microsoft Sounds can help your team get the most out of meetings, calls, and collaboration.

2. What Your Computer Needs

This AI translation isn’t lightweight. It requires at least 12 GB of memory and a modern processor to run smoothly, so older or low-spec devices may experience lag.

Before adopting new tools, it’s smart to make sure your IT setup is strong. Knowing 10 things to look for when considering working with a cybersecurity provider can prevent costly mistakes and ensure your technology actually supports your team.

3. Accuracy and Limitations

While the translations are impressive, they aren’t perfect. Occasional robotic phrasing or overlapping voices may appear, but the results are still highly usable for most training and business content.

If your team is moving more workflows online, using cloud services can keep files secure and accessible anywhere, making collaboration simpler and reducing the risk of data loss.

Why This Feature Matters for Local Businesses

Real-time translation can help teams across GTA and Simcoe County work smarter and learn faster. Your staff can access international training materials, vendor presentations, and global insights without waiting for subtitles, giving your business a competitive edge.

Protecting Your Business While Using New Tools

Even with powerful AI features, your IT foundation must remain secure. Exploring new tech like Edge’s AI translation is exciting, but a FREE cybersecurity risk assessment ensures your systems aren’t vulnerable. Protect your business and make the most of technology by scheduling one today.
