Cotopat recognizes speech in real time and displays text, diagrams, and video on screens and tablets. It helps resolve difficulties in hearing and facilitates smoother communication in situations that require consideration for diversity, such as disabilities or language differences. Since its Japan launch in 2023, Cotopat has been widely adopted at municipal and corporate service counters and reception desks for face-to-face communication, earning positive feedback from many customers. Sales are scheduled to begin soon in Europe, followed by Australia and New Zealand.

At CES, we will demonstrate the product and introduce implementation examples in live demos.

Features of Cotopat

1.Real-time information display

Cotopat recognizes speech in real time and displays not only captions but also diagrams and videos based on the content. By displaying spoken content on a transparent acrylic panel, users can maintain eye contact and see facial expressions during conversation, enabling natural interaction. It is useful for communication with older adults and people with hearing impairment and in settings such as government and medical environments where accurate transmission of complex information is necessary.

2.Support for two-way translated display

When each person speaks in their native language, the other party’s screen displays a translation in that party’s language, allowing smooth communication while maintaining eye contact. Cotopat supports translation display in 134 languages (including 73 languages for full two-way conversation with translation functionality) and is therefore well suited for municipalities and businesses serving multilingual communities.

3.Conversation summarization using generative AI

Conversation logs can be recorded and summarized using generative AI, and summaries can be provided to visitors via QR code. This lets family members, colleagues, or other stakeholders who were not present during the original conversation access the conversation content afterward.

Real-Time Caption Display System “Cotopat”

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The U.S. military conducted a rapid response exercise involving Marines and military aircraft in Venezuela’s capital Saturday, over four months after the ouster of then-President Nicolás Maduro.

Two Marine Corps Osprey aircraft, which have characteristics of both a helicopter and a fixed-wing airplane, flew over the recently reopened U.S. Embassy in Caracas. They landed in the parking lot with the downdraft blowing tree branches. Forces then descended from the aircraft.

“Ensuring the military’s rapid response capability is a key component of mission readiness, both here in Venezuela and around the world,” the embassy said on Instagram.

Venezuela’s government had announced the drill earlier this week. Foreign Minister Yván Gil said the U.S. would conduct the exercise to prepare “in the event of medical emergencies or catastrophic emergencies.”

The drill comes almost two months after the U.S. formally reopened its embassy in Caracas. The reopening followed the restoration of full diplomatic relations with the South American country after Maduro 's ouster in early January.

Some Caracas residents Saturday gathered near the embassy to watch the aircraft, while a few dozen others gathered elsewhere in the city to protest the exercise. Protesters held a Venezuelan flag with the message “No to the Yankee drill” written over it.

U.S. military aircraft last flew over Caracas on Jan. 3, when elite forces rappelled down from helicopters and captured Maduro and his wife. Both were taken to New York to face drug trafficking charges. They have pleaded not guilty.
