Understanding the Challenges in Maintaining AI-powered Interpreter

KUDO’s communication platform faced multifaceted challenges that impede seamless user experiences and efficient service delivery.

The initial adoption of Elasticsearch yielded suboptimal results, as the dataset lacked the scale necessary to leverage its full capabilities, incurring unnecessary costs. Additionally, the integration of a third-party library, Zoom_rb ruby gem, presented limitations in handling error codes, negatively impacting user interactions and lacking support for interpretation during Zoom webinars. The reliance on live interpreters proved problematic due to occasional unavailability, requiring manual intervention. Furthermore, the integration of calendar systems posed difficulties with existing plugins, failing to meet the customization needs for interpreters’ schedules. Addressing these challenges was pivotal to enhancing the platform’s effectiveness and user satisfaction.

How We Fulfilled Our Client’s Expectations?

Considering the challenges and limitations, we decided to implement our expertise that aligns with the KUDO platform’s stable and seamless working.

  • We transitioned to using raw SQL queries and database indexes within PostgreSQL to handle search functionality. Creating targeted indexes on relevant columns in PostgreSQL allowed for fast searches across our data without needing a dedicated search engine.
  • To improve the reliability and capabilities of Zoom integration, we decided to develop a custom wrapper. This in-house wrapper gave full control over error handling and detailed error messages. Also, it enabled the seamless interpretation support for webinars.
  • We also introduced AI interpretation into meetings and conducted extensive training in AI models to enable interpretation in over 20 languages.
  • Our development of a custom calendar tool allowed interpreters to easily indicate their availability by dragging their selection over multiple days. We used React’s drag-table-select to implement dragging functionality.
  • Furthermore, our custom calendar seamlessly integrates the display of different colors to correspond with the various availability statuses of interpreters, making it a tailor-made solution that precisely aligns with the platform’s needs.
