Case Study: Microsoft achieves multilingual event engagement with KUDO interpretation and captions

Microsoft enables four-language interpretation at Asia Tech Summit with KUDO

Microsoft, a global technology company, faced the challenge of ensuring full participation and understanding at its Asia Tech Summit for employees and partners from various countries across Asia. They needed to overcome significant language barriers and costly logistical issues for both in-person and remote attendees. To address this, Microsoft turned to their vendor, KUDO, for its human-powered interpretation solutions.

KUDO provided real-time interpretation in Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean, along with live streaming for remote participants and real-time captioning for accessibility. The solution allowed in-person attendees to access interpretation simply by scanning a QR code. KUDO's services enabled all participants to engage fully with the event in their preferred language, maximizing the value of the summit and fulfilling Microsoft's commitment to inclusivity across the region.
