KUDO Earns Fifth US Patent for Real-Time AI Translation of Presentation Materials

(Tuesday, August 18, 2025, New York, NY) – KUDO, the leading provider of real-time language accessibility technology, is excited to announce that it has been awarded its fifth US patent. Reinforcing its commitment to expanding language access through innovation, KUDO’s latest patent covers breakthrough technology that enables on-the-fly AI translation of live presentation materials such as PowerPoint slides used during online meetings, conferences, and events with speakers of different languages.

In the majority of virtual and hybrid meetings, presenters rely on visual slides to convey and reinforce their message. Traditionally, however, these slides are created in the same language as the speaker’s presentation. While audiences in multilingual meetings can hear interpreted speech—either from professional interpreters or through AI—slides often remain in the original language, creating a gap in understanding.

KUDO’s newly patented technology closes this gap by instantly translating slides into the target language of each listener in real time. Leveraging AI-based visual recognition and advanced machine translation, the system delivers localized slides that align with the interpreted audio, ensuring every participant sees and hears the presentation in their preferred language.

“This latest innovation bridges a distinct gap with online or hybrid meetings that use live speech translation,” said Fardad Zabetian, CEO of KUDO. “By synchronizing translated slides with interpreted speech, we’re removing one of the last barriers to truly inclusive global communication. Our clients can now ensure that every visual element of their presentation, event, or conference is as accessible as their spoken content.”

The patent reinforces KUDO’s position as a pioneer in real-time multilingual communication, building on a portfolio of technologies designed to make online meetings more inclusive, accessible, and productive for global audiences.

KUDO supports more than 200 spoken and sign languages, with seamless integrations into leading video conferencing tools like Microsoft Teams and Zoom. The addition of real-time slide translation further enhances the platform’s ability to deliver immersive, multilingual experiences for meetings, webinars, and events.
