(Thursday 29 August, 2024, New York City, NY) – Through the continued expansion of its partner program, KUDO signs two new partners: Plataforma Software (Latin America) and Congress Rental (Australia). Specializing in software installations and audiovisual solutions for event production, respectively, the companies join a growing list of global distributors offering their clients KUDO’s market-leading language accessibility technology.
Since launching KUDO AI Speech Translator in 2023, the demand for KUDO to offer a reseller program – particularly from the AV and events world – has been steadily growing in line with the demand from end users to have live speech translation technology made available during meetings and events. This year, the KUDO team launched a specialized partner program for both KUDO Marketplace, the world’s only platform on which you can find, pay, and book interpreters for any platform, and KUDO AI, a real-time speech translator powered by artificial intelligence.
The addition of Plataforma Software and Congress Rental Australia will expand the availability of these solutions beyond KUDO’s own clients, who are based across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions. The announcement also comes after a record number of company milestones delivered in the space of six months, including the awarding of a third patent, multiple rounds of improvements to product UX/UI, and several high-stakes, multi-day tradeshows for which KUDO AI was accessed by tens of thousands of attendees.
“It’s been a busy year at KUDO. We’re excited to be working with two new partners in areas where we know there is an increasing demand for live speech translation technology,” says Fardad Zabetian, CEO of KUDO. “KUDO’s ambition has always been to democratize language accessibility, so we look forward to supporting Plataforma Software and Congress Rental Australia with creating events and installations that can welcome and engage every attendee equally, regardless of the language they speak – or don’t.”
