17:20 ET - Twitter is introducing automated captions to voice tweets, a feature it released in June 2020 without the ability to add text, prompting criticism from accessibility advocates who said it excluded people who are deaf or hard of hearing. "As part of our ongoing work to make Twitter accessible for everyone, we're rolling out automated captions for Voice Tweets to iOS," Gurpreet Kaur, head of global accessibility at Twitter, said yesterday. Twitter is the latest social-media company to add automated captions, following in the steps of TikTok, operated by ByteDance Ltd., and Facebook's Instagram. Automated captions, however, present challenges, as accents and background noise can lead to mistaken transcriptions, says Meryl Evans, a digital marketer who is deaf. (ann-marie.alcantara@wsj.com)
美国东部时间17：20-Twitter正在为语音推文引入自动字幕，这是它在2020年6月发布的一项功能，无法添加文本，这引发了无障碍倡导者的批评，他们说它排除了聋人或重听人。Twitter全球辅助功能主管古普里特·考尔(Gurpreet Kaur)昨日表示：“作为我们正在进行的让所有人都能访问Twitter的工作的一部分，我们正在向iOS推出语音推文的自动字幕。”继字节跳动有限公司(ByteDance Ltd.)运营的TikTok和Facebook旗下的Instagram之后，Twitter成为最新一家添加自动字幕的社交媒体公司。然而，聋人数字营销人员梅丽尔·埃文斯(Meryl Evans)表示，自动字幕带来了挑战，因为口音和背景噪音可能会导致错误的转录。(Ann-marie.alcantara@wsj.com)
