EventMobi Breaks the Last Barrier for Virtual Events to Reach a Global Audience: Real-time Translation for Livestream Broadcasts and Online Meetings, Powered by Kudo
EventMobi's new partnership with Kudo empowers event organizers to add live multilingual interpretation and sign language to sessions at their virtual events.
TORONTO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Until now, event organizers planning multilingual virtual events have had to source independent interpreters and manage the cost and complexity of additional software, hardware, and support on their own. Through this newly announced partnership with KUDO, attendees and speakers can now benefit from real-time, professional interpretation inside the EventMobi Virtual Space. Simultaneous interpretation allows event and conference speakers to present in their native tongue while attendees listen in their preferred language – without lengthening the duration of the session.
KUDO is the world's leading provider of web-based interpretation services, and event planners can choose from 70 languages including sign language. EventMobi's integration with KUDO means that multilingual sessions are seamlessly broadcast through the embedded video player within the EventMobi Virtual Space.
Attendees will be able to select their preferred language via a simple dropdown menu right below the video player, and the original speaker's audio will be muted and the selected live interpretation audio will be broadcast instead. For those that wish to include sign language, the interpreter will appear in a video window underneath the speakers.
"For many event planners, multilingual translation is not a nice to have, it's a requirement. The EventMobi partnership with KUDO means our customers can easily integrate the highest quality simultaneous interpretation into their online events and conferences," says Bob Vaez, CEO of EventMobi.
The KUDO integration with the EventMobi Virtual Platform provides 4 key benefits:
Fully Managed Service: Interpreters are fully supported by EventMobi and KUDO, and no additional hardware or software is required.
More Accurate Than AI: Experienced simultaneous interpreters are able to include the speaker's original expressions and inflections for accuracy and context.
Simple Language Selection: Attendees can choose their preferred language via a simple dropdown menu directly below the livestream video player.
Cost Efficiency: Simple pricing with half and full day services available in up to 10 simultaneous languages per session, including sign language interpretation.
Virtual events offer unmatched reach and scale, but language is a significant barrier. EventMobi's new partnership with KUDO empowers speakers to present and attendees to listen in their mother tongue, allowing event planners to create truly global multilingual virtual events and conferences.
"We're super excited to offer this end-to-end solution for digital meetings by combining EventMobi's decade of experience in live events with KUDO's deep domain expertise in multilingual meetings," says Fardad Zabetian, CEO of KUDO.
