India’s home grown social media startup Ku is adding new features to its app everyday. In the same series of things, Koo has launched a new ‘Multilingual Koo (MLK)’ feature that allows people to post their thoughts in the language of their choice via translation. The app has launched Type to Talk feature. Here is information about two new features of the Ku app.
‘Multilingual Ku (MLK)’ feature
Although ‘Ku’ enables people to post their thoughts in the language of their choice, it is also important to convey a good idea expressed in one language to people and communities in other languages. Keeping this in mind, ‘Ku’ has introduced its MLK feature. This feature translates messages posted in any language to 9 other languages. What is remarkable is that the translation retains the original sentiments expressed in the original language. This increases the reach of those who express their views in the language of their choice, but translation allows their message to reach those who prefer other languages.
Ku is the world’s first social media platform, which has given this unique feature to its users.
‘Talk to Type’ feature
The ‘Talk to Type’ feature of ‘Ku’ is great as it enables users to post their thoughts without typing. In a ‘ku’ app, if you click on the ‘new message’ tab, there is a button that is represented by a talking personal logo. If you click on it, you can just say what you want to post, and the words are automatically typed on the screen. All this can be done without using the keyboard. The facility is available in 10 Indian languages and aims to allow people to express themselves in the language of their choice.
It is significant that ‘Ku’ is the first social media platform in the world to use ‘Talk to Type’ feature, that too in 10 different languages. It comes in handy for millions of users who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in the language of their respective regions. Some users are not very keen to type, this feature empowers them to express themselves as per their wish.[portanttonotethat’Koo’isthefirstsocialmediaplatformintheworldwhichisusing’TalktoType’featurethatalsoin10differentlanguagesThiscomesinhandyformillionsofuserswhoaremorecomfortableexpressingthemselvesinthelanguageoftheirrespectiveregionsSomeusersarenotverykeentotypethisfeatureempowersthemtoexpressthemselvestheway[portanttonotethat‘Koo’isthefirstsocialmediaplatformintheworldwhichisusing‘TalktoType’featurethatalsoin10differentlanguagesThiscomesinhandyformillionsofuserswhoaremorecomfortableexpressingthemselvesinthelanguageoftheirrespectiveregionsSomeusersarenotverykeentotypethisfeatureempowersthemtoexpressthemselvesthewaytheywant
