KUDO Earns 4th Patent for AI Innovation Amid the Launch of KUDO AI v.3.0

Published

on

KUDO launches a new AI engine, KUDO AI v3.0, while gaining a fourth US Patent for innovative speech translation method.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — After being granted three Patent certifications from the United States Patent Office (USPO) within the last twelve months, the KUDO team rounds off Q3 of 2024 with a fourth – for ‘Systems and methods for automatic speech translation’ – being added to their impressive collection. The granting of the Patent comes after extensive R&D efforts into AI speech-to-speech technology following KUDO’s Series A investment round, and amid another round of UX and UI optimizations to their product suite that include a new AI engine, KUDO AI v.3.0.

Since January 2024, KUDO AI Speech Translator has seen a 453% increase in monthly client usage. The solution’s ease of use and market-leading translation quality are the result of a complex process incorporating state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing systems and Large Language Models. KUDO’s latest Patent, no. 12,079,588, focuses on this unique method for real-time, continuous translation, with an emphasis on automatic speech recognition and a segmentation model that almost instantly organizes sentences in a way that the translations are rendered as naturally as possible.

Having already undergone a new AI engine previously, significant UX and UI improvements, the addition of a custom glossary feature, and more, the KUDO team is continuing its commitment to delivering the most user-friendly AI Speech Translator by sharing further product enhancements to the solution’s translation quality and captions.

New AI Engine – KUDO AI v.3.0

In this update, new and existing clients of KUDO AI can expect to see an even greater increase in accuracy and fluency than in our last AI engine upgrade, due to be released in October. The objective, as always, is to continue improving the translation quality of KUDO AI while ensuring that the latency (lag) between the original speech and the translation remains as short as possible. Read our in-depth guide for more information about the quality of AI translation and the role of latency.

UX/UI Customization of Captions

Continuing the theme of an enhanced user experience, the live captions on all of KUDO’s product interfaces have undergone a revamped design adapted for accessibility.

On the KUDO Platform videoconferencing interface, and KUDO’s Mobile Link solution which can be accessed simply by scanning a QR code, users can now benefit from: light and dark mode for the screen, the ability to select the size and color of the captions to suit your preferences, and the option to choose the default font or Open Dyslexic, a font which is designed to increase readability for participants with dyslexia.

More Accessible Captions on MS Teams

In KUDO’s last update on Microsoft Teams, the team added automatic language detection. In October, the same optimizations to KUDO’s captions will be rolled out on its native integration on Microsoft Teams. This means that users will be able to access the same KUDO AI customizable captions directly on Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams users will also benefit from the optimizations to translation quality with the launch of KUDO AI v3.0.

HOPE for Georgia Moms’ Maternal Health Task Force Awards “Georgia’s Top 10 Maternal Health Websites” for Expecting and New Parents Just in Time for Mother’s Day

Published

on

By

ATHENS, Ga., May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With Mother’s Day right around the corner, the Georgia Maternal Health Task Force has announced its first ever “Top 10 Maternal Health Websites: Spring 2025” awards, recognizing trusted, local, high-quality resources for expecting and new parents, healthcare providers and health educators. The Georgia Maternal Health Task Force is a coalition of healthcare providers, public health experts, patient advocates and community leaders. It operates within HOPE for Georgia Moms, a federally funded initiative dedicated to improving maternal health outcomes within the state.

More than 40% of Georgia’s counties lack maternity care facilities, and more than half of the state’s counties do not have a practicing obstetrician. While not a substitute for clinical care, access to high-quality patient education resources on the internet can help improve overall health in communities where care is limited. According to one study, for example, the internet is an important source of information for 8 out of 10 pregnant women in their first trimester because it is easy to access and because women can learn from the experiences of others. Other studies suggest that expecting moms can use the internet to reduce anxiety or fear around unknown situations as well as improve informed decision-making.

Georgia’s new and expecting mothers deserve easy-to-access, high-quality information on how to promote their well-being,” said project director Dr. Heidi Ehrenreich, Ph.D., M.P.H., MCHES. “Our first cohort of website awardees do an excellent job educating expecting parents, families and providers.”

To support these and other positive outcomes in maternal health, the Task Force reviewed dozens of local sites and evaluated them based on factors such as whether the site was relevant to the Georgia context, had evidence-based content and was user-friendly.

The Spring 2025 awards recognize the following websites for their outstanding maternal health resources (listed in alphabetical order):

Emory Healthcare – MaternityCenter for Black Women’s Wellness Doulas of Atlanta Georgia Department of Public Health Georgia Perinatal Consultants Georgia Perinatal Quality CollectiveGeorgia WatchMother to Baby The Atlanta Doula West Central Health District

These recognized websites will receive an official HOPE for Georgia Moms “Top 10 Maternal Health Website” badge to display on their websites and social media platforms—giving families extra confidence this Mother’s Day and beyond that the resources they rely on have been vetted by experts.

“We are honored that the Center for Black Women’s Wellness has been recognized for outstanding maternal health education,” said Tosi Adeniyi-Miller, Senior Analyst and Maternal Child Health Advocate. “Accessible, trustworthy health information is vital—especially for communities that have historically faced barriers to care. This recognition affirms our commitment to equipping families with the knowledge they need to thrive.”

Later this year, the Task Force will share information on how other organizations can submit their websites for consideration for the Fall 2025 awards.

About HOPE for Georgia Moms

HOPE (Healthy Outcomes and Positive Experiences) for Georgia Moms is Georgia’s statewide maternal health initiative, funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) through the State Maternal Health Innovation and Data Capacity Program. Launched in 2022, the program brings together mothers, clinicians, advocates and community leaders to improve maternal health outcomes across the state. By amplifying lived experiences and connecting families with trusted resources, HOPE for Georgia Moms works to ensure every parent in Georgia survives and thrives.

This initiative is supported by HRSA of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under an award totaling $5,170,233. No funding is provided by non-governmental sources.
