College in Washington delivers a bilingual 2.5-hour graduation ceremony with KUDO

A community college in Washington serving a diverse student population faced the challenge of making its 2.5-hour graduation ceremony equally accessible for English and Spanish-speaking families. The institution needed a reliable, real-time translation solution that was easy for attendees to access on-site without disrupting the flow of the significant event. To achieve this, they turned to the vendor KUDO and its AI speech translation service.

KUDO implemented its real-time AI speech translation, allowing Spanish-speaking guests to listen to the ceremony through their smartphones by simply scanning a QR code. The solution delivered a seamless and inclusive experience where families could follow every moment in their preferred language. The college successfully removed language barriers, resulting in a more meaningful celebration that supported its mission, with the AI quality noted as being equal to that of a live interpreter.
