Although all of Microsoft’s focus now seems to be on artificial intelligence and Windows 12 development, it’s actually Microsoft Edge, the “new” version of its Chrome-based browser. remains one of his big priorities. And it’s no wonder, it can almost be said that Redmond is offering a browser for the first time in its history that has a fairly positive rating from a large part of the community. Can you imagine something like that with Internet Explorer? Yeah, me neither.

Of course, this profound change came when Microsoft assumed it was competing for it Imposing your own engine was not the key to attracting users, delivered mainly to Google Chrome. Instead, it made much more sense to take exactly the base that Google’s browser uses and from that common base start adding custom features that would differentiate it for the better from the rest of its competitors, especially Chrome, yes , but also Firefox, Safari, etc.

This led to the release of Microsoft Edge Chromium (as it was called at the time to distinguish it from the first generation Edge) they start playing in a lot of news related to new features which added to it. in addition to starting to contribute decisively to the development of Chrome. Thus, to the great benefit of users, the browser war was no longer fought over its core technologies, but rather focused on its user-centric features and tools.

Along those lines, and also adding to Redmond’s interest in artificial intelligence, user Leopeva64 Published on Twitter some pictures that show it Microsoft is testing a video translation system in Microsoft Edge. These images were extracted from the Canary (the most updated and most unstable of the Insiders program) and at the moment the control over the videos does not seem to be active.

In the last months We have already seen several projects for automatically dubbing video and audio content using artificial intelligence. A few months ago, for example, we learned that YouTube is already working on it, and recently Spotify has also started using a similar technology for dubbing podcasts while preserving the original voices. So we can be sure to see more progress in this regard in the future.

Now it is not the same for the service to incorporate technology of this type as a browser such as Microsoft Edge, because in this case the scope of this function can be incredibly wider and therefore mark the before and after when it comes to consuming content over the Internet. Let’s talk about live streams, podcasts, videos… maybe this time yes babelfish to be closer than ever.
