This week, during the WebexOne virtual conference, Cisco unveiled the all new Webex – one easy-to-use and secure way to call, message, meet, and get work done. More than 50 innovations announced this week fall into three areas: seamless collaboration, smart hybrid work experiences, and intelligent customer experiences, all built on the rock-solid security and privacy synonymous with Cisco.
We are really excited about all the new features, but here's our Top 5 favourites:
- Noise cancellation and speech enhancement: No more loud typing or rustling papers interrupting your train of thought. Webex automatically detects and suppresses common noises, so you can concentrate.
- Transcriptions and closed captioning: Remove the need for extensive note-taking. Transcripts are searchable, so team members who miss a meeting can quickly catch up.
- In-meeting gestures: Like the presentation? Simply give a “thumbs up” with your hand and our AI translates your motion into a thumbs up on the screen for all to see. This is an industry first, coming in CY 2021.
- Immersive sharing: Share your presentation, video or application as a dynamic background with your video overlaid, for a more immersive experience. Coming in CY 2021.
- And perhaps our favourite of all, real-time translations. With real-time translations, language barriers in meetings will be a thing of the past. Webex Assistant will soon offer live translation from English to the top 15 languages spoken by 80 percent of the world population including Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Dutch, and Japanese. You can select the language and spoken words in the meeting are translated in real-time.
