Kotoba’s technology can understand Japanese names, locations and spoken language while enabling live conversations with very low latency. It can be deployed on-premise, on device or in the cloud enabling Japanese companies to choose the deployment that best fits their security needs. Its research and development operations are based in Tokyo.<\/p>

The partnership will also extend to Cresta Connect Japan on November 11, where Kotoba’s real-time voice translation technology will display speakers’ remarks as Japanese and English subtitles.<\/p>
