Summary
A leading design promotion organization hosts an annual summit that draws attendees speaking many different languages. rofessional human interpretation across the full language list came at a high cost. KUDO offered a more reasonable alternative: AI simultaneous interpretation from English and Italian speaker audio into 10 target languages, covering the event’s full multilingual program. For specific sessions where human interpretation was still wanted — English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Italian — KUDO provided that too, so the organization could get both AI and human SI from a single vendor rather than managing two.
The Challenge
Interpreting a summit across 10 languages with professional human interpreters is expensive — the cost scales with every language added. The organization needed a way to make its summit accessible to a multilingual audience without the price tag that comes with a fully human-staffed interpretation team.
The organization needed:
- Simultaneous interpretation across 10 languages at a manageable cost
- A solution that didn’t compromise on covering the full language list
- A way to avoid coordinating with multiple vendors if human interpretation was also needed

The Solution
KUDO’s AI simultaneous interpretation gave the organization a cost-effective way to cover all 10 languages at its summit, at a price point that compared favorably to an all-human interpretation setup. Where human interpretation was still wanted for parts of the event, KUDO was able to provide that too — meaning the organization didn’t have to bring in and manage a separate interpretation vendor alongside KUDO. Sourcing both AI and human SI from the same provider simplified planning and saved the team time it would otherwise have spent coordinating across vendors.
