Add live-translated audio and captions to your platform
The KUDO Platform is designed to run meetings, webinars, and events in any language using professional human interpreters or our AI-powered Speech Translator. Want to use your own platform? Simply integrate our language selector widget.
Accessing KUDO on other meeting and webinar platforms
KUDO has a native integration with Microsoft Teams.
For all other platforms, you can simply embed our iFrame widget to allow your participants to access translated audio and captions in real time. KUDO is browser-based and uses a tiny bandwidth of 10-20 Kb/second.
What powers our live-translated speech and captions?
We offer two solutions to run your online meetings and webinars in any language.
Supported
platforms:
Either – or both, depending on your needs.
Audio translation and captions can either be powered by our AI Speech Translator or by one of our 12,000 professional language interpreters. The experience is the same for attendees with either solution; they simply connect to the meeting platform of choice, then use the KUDO language selector (in integrated or widget form) to activate the translated audio and captions.
Our clients use KUDO for both internal and external company meetings. This could include anything from virtual All Hands meetings, company announcements, Sales kick-offs, L&D, and training, to online product launches, UX research, and board/investor meetings.
If you opt for human interpretation, you can rest assured that our marketplace of 12,000 interpreters are qualified professionals who each specialize in subject matter and industry vocabulary. We also require them to sign a NDA before each meeting or event that they are interpreting.
If you opt for AI-translated audio and captions, we recommend reading our A-Z guide on quality to get a better idea of how to measure quality. If you want the short answer, KUDO AI has an average score of 4.1/5 for fluency and 4.25/5 for accuracy, and an overall user rating of 4.1/5.
Sorry to disappoint, but the answer is: that completely depends on what type of communication you want to make language-accessible; the meeting or event type, the duration, and the languages you require.
Talk to our experts about your language needs and they will advise you on which solution is best suited.
