KUDO is a browser-based solution that works off WIFI or 4G, using a bandwidth of 10-20 Kb/second. That’s around 1% of the bandwidth needed to stream an average YouTube video on your phone.
What powers our live-translated speech and captions?
KUDO AI Speech Translator
Yes. KUDO AI is a real-time, AI-powered Speech Translator. This means it is available on demand, 24/7 in the click of a button.
Translated audio and captions are done using a Patented speech-to-speech translation process, with an average latency (delay) of 4.1 seconds, and an average score of 4.1/5 for fluency and 4.25/5 for accuracy.

No – not yet. AI speech technology has come a long way, but no solution on the market can deliver a good enough user experience for a back-and-forth, real-time conversation. But we’re working on it.
As of today, KUDO AI lets you have multiple speakers of different languages taking it in turns to present to an audience, but this is not the same as having those speakers hold a two-way conversation using the solution.
Essentially, any venue, establishment, or public building that receives international visitors or clients.
Clients of our in-venue live translation solution tend to be universities, hotels or buildings with conference rooms, city council chambers, houses of worship, sports stadiums, and exhibition centers.
For a simple in-person or hybrid set-up, KUDO requires only three things:
- A laptop in each of the rooms or stages for which you want to provide live speech translation.
- A USB audio interface for each of the rooms or stages for which you want to provide live speech translation.
- A stable internet connection. KUDO uses extremely low bandwidth, so regular WIFI is fine.
How it works:
- A KUDO session is created in the KUDO Platform and linked to the digital and on-site signage provided for attendees.
- The session receives on-site audio in the room via an audio to USB interface connecting the microphone(s) to the KUDO session.
- On-site or remote participants can use the Weblink or QR code to access the language selector and live translation.
In three easy steps:
- Scan the QR code (that KUDO provides) to open a new window in your smartphone or tablet browser.
- Choose a language for audio and captions from the language selector that appears on your screen. (You can choose different options for both).
- Plug in your headphones to hear the translated audio or simply follow the captions on your screen.
