We're excited to share a roundup of our product and company updates.

But first a quick message from our CEO, Fardad Zabetian

2023 marked an incredible start for KUDO; we launched our new branding, as well as our AI-powered speech translator, with the mission to combine human and AI power into multilingual solutions that enable people to communicate effortlessly in any language – wherever they are. 

We were also delighted to show our appreciation through the "Meet the CEO" Campaign in January. I am grateful that so many of our clients were able to connect with me and share their experiences with KUDO. “Your feedback has been an invaluable source of guidance for us to make critical improvements to our products and positioning. Thank you.”

With Language Access, KUDO's interpretation technology can be connected to other meetings and event platforms (Hopin, Webex, ON24, Hopin...  the possibilities are endless). Kindly note that any feature that is not currently available in your plan will appear "greyed out" in the scheduling interface.

KUDO Language Access solutions

Auto floor feature is now an option for the Language Access Widget 💬

• With auto-floor, when a participant selects a language from the KUDO Language Selector, the floor audio of the webinar is automatically muted or reduced in volume. Additionally, if any presenter begins to speak in the language selected by each participant, the channel audio will switch to the floor audio of the webinar automatically. Auto-floor allows speakers, market experts, and consumers from different parts of the world to interact in their preferred language during webinars. Reach out to your Client Manager to see if the feature is available for your integration.

Extra time warning notification ⏲️

• Now we will inform Hosts and Operators when the scheduled meeting time is ending, and when the extra time or grace period will begin. This will support Hosts with time management of the meetings and the use of their credits. 

Enhancement to voting and polling feature 🗳️

• Our voting feature will soon enable the host/operator to monitor the progress of the voting in real-time, allowing them to easily view how many people have yet to cast their votes and make informed decisions on when to end the voting.
