Cuckoo

Cuckoo listens to a meeting and renders speech in the languages you selected as people talk. Rather than locking the call to one language pair, it recognizes every language present and shows the exchange for each participant. That covers English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi, Filipino, Turkish and more. For a team spread across markets, the value is that one call handles all of them at once.

You bring Cuckoo into a call by inviting it, the same action you use for a coworker. It works with online meetings and offline rooms, and it detects the languages being spoken without you tagging each speaker first. That keeps the setup small: you pick the language set once, then let people talk. The main thing to plan for is inviting it before the call starts, so it captures the full discussion.

Before a meeting, you can feed Cuckoo background material, such as a PDF report or a spreadsheet, and a list of terms. Domain words like model names, metrics or internal acronyms then translate closer to how your team says them. This is the feature that separates a general translator from one tuned for business calls, since a sales deck and a support log use very different vocabulary. You share the context once and it carries into the session.

Cuckoo writes what each person says and pairs it with the translation in the meeting transcript view. Participants can follow along in their own language while the meeting runs, so a listener doesn't have to wait for a summary. The record also survives the call, which means the discussion is available afterward instead of vanishing when the room closes. For support and sales teams, that turns a conversation into something you can search and reuse.

The Teams plan splits transcripts into shared team spaces and private ones. A shared workspace lets a group build a common record of client calls, while a private space keeps sensitive threads away from the wider team. It also supports shareable transcripts, so you can pass a specific conversation to someone who needs it without opening everything. That structure matters once a company runs many calls a week across several languages.

On the Enterprise plan, Cuckoo adds controls that larger organizations expect before they put a tool on customer calls. You get SSO, an IP allowlist, audit logs and role based access, plus the option to run custom AI models and dictionary integrations. A customer success manager handles onboarding and rollout. These features are aimed at companies with security reviews and compliance checklists, not individual users.
