Automatic closed captioning coming to Google Slides

Byryan October 9, 2018October 9, 2018

Recently, an internal hackathon led us to work on a project that is deeply personal. Upon observing that presentations can be challenging for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to follow along, we both teamed up with the idea to add automated closed captions to G Suite’s presentation tool, Google Slides.

This work has moved from a passion project to our full-time job, and today we’re officially launching automated closed captions in Google Slides. The feature will gradually roll out to all Slides users starting this week.

I don’t really know if hover cards are something I really need. But, since I’m a user that usually has so many tabs open that each tab is reduced to its favicon, I’m willing to give hover cards a shot. Once enabled, mousing over a tab will show the page title and site domain name….
