Leaked information displays AI-driven Video Summarize feature within new One UI 8 software
In the world of technology, Samsung continues to push boundaries with its upcoming One UI 8. Two notable features that have caught the attention of tech enthusiasts are Voice Captioning and the AI Video Summarize tool.
Voice Captioning, a significant upgrade from Samsung's previous Live Captions, transcribes speech from videos, calls, and live conversations into text in real time. What sets Voice Captioning apart is its ability to translate the captions into multiple languages and provide real-time summaries of the spoken content[1][3][5]. This feature, leveraging AI, allows users to save both the captioned text and audio for later use[1][3][4].
The AI Video Summarize tool, similar to YouTube's video summaries in functionality, can be used on other apps and websites that stream visual content. It analyzes videos and summarizes the visuals, speech, and captions, presenting the main points in a neatly organized list[2]. Users can test out this summarization tool by following a detailed guide[6].
Rumours of these features have been circulating, with an X user spotting a possible weather app redesign with One UI 8, featuring 3D avatars that react to the forecast[7]. The redesigned weather app, however, was not first reported by SammyGuru, unlike the information about the AI Video Summarize tool[8].
One UI 8 may also include the AI Video Summarize tool, hidden in a debug menu within the alleged new UI[9]. As of now, Samsung will only summarize the title and description of the video and other related videos on the page[10]. The 'Detailed' option for summaries in Galaxy AI does not yet work with the current video tool.
These AI-driven features represent a powerful upgrade that could rival similar tools like Google's Live Translate on Pixel devices, by integrating transcription, translation, and summarization into a single seamless experience[1][5]. Potential applications of these features range from enhanced accessibility for hearing-impaired users, multilingual communication, efficient media consumption, and professional settings like conference calls or international meetings[1][3][4].
With One UI 8, Samsung is set to revolutionize the way users interact with their devices, making technology more accessible and efficient. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting new features.

Artificial Intelligence plays a key role in two new features coming with One UI 8, as Voice Captioning leverages AI to transcribe speech in real time and provide translations and summaries, and the AI Video Summarize tool uses AI to analyze videos and present main points in a neatly organized list.
Samsung's Voice Captioning and AI Video Summarize tools, both powered by artificial intelligence, aim to revolutionize media consumption and communication efficiency by integrating transcription, translation, and summarization into a single seamless experience.
