At CES 2025, Samsung announced that it will bring popular features from the company’s phones and tablets to TVs. Live Translate does exactly what it says in the box, offering users real-time translation for live broadcasts. The feature will work in seven different languages - although it’s not clear when it’s published. In its current form, the system works by translating the closed text in the broadcast, instead of listening to the audio directly. Live Translate was introduced in early 2024 as part of the Galaxy S24 launch. It now works in 13 different languages on the front of the handset – roughly double that of the TV version that launched. The company is also adding AI-based Noise Cancellation with Audio Subtitles, a feature it says is focused on the visually impaired community. According to Samsung, the new feature “will analyze subtitles, isolate sounds and adjust reading speed for a smooth experience.” Both features were introduced for TV channels 2025. There is no word on whether Samsung will offer backward compatibility for older sets. Check out Samsung’s CES 2025 press conference at 2 pm PT Monday.
