AI speech translation and captions

For the third consecutive year, ISE’s official language accessibility partner, KUDO, will be providing AI speech translation and captions across several stages and conference rooms for the show’s 2025 edition. Attendees will be able to access all the keynotes, panels, and presentations in the language of their choice by scanning a QR code from their smartphones or tablets, then following the translated audio and/or subtitles.

KUDO

Designed for ease of use at events, KUDO AI requires no app download or account creation; scanning the QR code opens a new browser window from which attendees can select both an audio and captions language, depending on whether they wish to follow the translated speech or simply read the subtitles directly from their screen. Translated audio and captions are entirely AI-powered, in real time, and require around 1% of the bandwidth needed to stream an average YouTube video from a smartphone, making them easily accessible via 4G or the guest Wi-Fi available at Fira Barcelona Gran Via.
