Koo adds ‘Talk to Type’ feature with support for regional Indian languages

India’s homegrown social media platform Koo has now announced the launch of its “Talk to Type” feature, which will allow users to share their thoughts easily without having to type. The feature is available in all the Indian languages the platform supports currently including Kannada, Hindi, and Bengali among others. This will make it much easier for users, to create content in their native Indian language by simply speaking at the click of a button and without using a keyboard.

Koo is a microblogging site that was co-founded by entrepreneurs Aprameya Radhakrishna and Mayank Bidwatka. The social media app was launched in early 2020 and gained prominence after winning the government’s Atmanirbhar App Innovation Challenge.
