Categories & Use Cases

Good application

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Akkadu for:
our daily global meetings with colleagues in other countries that speak with a strong accent. The app gives us the real-time subtitles in English and in our own language. Colleagues that don't speak English very good benefit a lot from the app. meetings with clients from other countries. Without the app we wouldn't be able to understand the client.

Pros

  • Very accurate
  • Integrates with any virtual platform such as Zoom, Teams, WebEx, etc.
  • Very easy-to-use

Cons

  • It'd be great if it has AI Speech so we don't need to read the live captions. Customer service said the AI Speech feature will be released next month.

Most Important Features

  • Live AI Captions
  • Live Transcription
  • Terminologies: The fact that we can add terminologies before the meetings increase the accuracy of the AI. This is very useful because we work in the pharma industry which has many jargons.

Return on Investment

  • Very positive impact! Meetings with foreign clients that don't speak good English, now became very smooth.
  • Colleagues that don't speak good English now can use their mother tongue during our internal meetings with the Headquarters in Germany. The HQ has noticed the engagement of the foreign colleagues has increased.
