So, when TikTok’s text-to-speech feature was rolled out last month, it was considered by some as long overdue. According to compliance standards, accessibility options are not technically a legal requirement for social media. However, there have been some areas in which this myriad of effects has lagged, some of which happen to be more important than others. For example, the interactivity that drives many TikTok phenomena would be completely unthinkable without the ease of access provided by the Duet function.
Some of these are more throwaway, meme-worthy options, but others are integral to its functioning as a platform. Whether you want a chipmunk voice or you’re in need of a full green screen, there’s an option to make your creative vision a reality - and more importantly, allow you to contribute to its latest trends. Nothing thrives in the cutthroat world of social media without its fair share of innovation, and as the briefest exploration of TikTok will tell you, much of this platform’s ingenuity comes from its extensive library of effects.
