[Japan Launch] SUHO Co., Ltd. Begins Exclusive Domestic Provision of SconAI's Real-Time Continuous Simultaneous Interpretation System 'SconChat'

[Tokyo - June 2, 2026] — SUHO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Chang-Seok Jin, hereinafter "SUHO") announces the establishment of an exclusive alliance with SconAI (Seoul, CEO: Jong-Il Kong), a Korean deep-tech company specializing in advanced voice AI engines and acoustic signal processing, to officially launch the world's first continuous real-time simultaneous interpretation system 'SconChat' for enterprises and local governments across Japan starting today.

Since the pandemic, demand for hybrid international conferences, inbound tourism support, integration of multilingual talent, and global business transactions in Japan has surged rapidly, making language barrier solutions an urgent priority.

SUHO has localized 'SconChat' leveraging its proven system integration expertise and localization engineering capabilities, overturning conventional text-based translation norms and delivering immediate communication transformation in business environments.

The Definitive Difference from Machine Translation Tools: Next-Generation 'Continuous Simultaneous Interpretation'

Most conventional translation and interpretation tools operate on a 'turn-taking' model, waiting for a speaker to finish before initiating processing. In contrast, SconChat is the world's first continuous real-time interpretation service, where AI dynamically previews and analyzes speech in real time, smoothly delivering translations even before the speaker pauses.

Translation output begins within just 1.2 to 1.5 seconds of audio input, with synthesized voice output in under 5 seconds—an astonishingly low latency. This performance far surpasses ChatGPT (average voice output: 15.5 seconds) and Google Translate (average: 14.8 seconds), minimizing communication lag to the extreme.

No Installation Required! Direct QR Code Access via 'Pure Web' Technology

'SconChat' is designed with priority on usability for Japan's large enterprises and government agencies with strict security policies, as well as time-constrained event venues.

No download of dedicated apps or purchase of expensive specialized hardware is required. Simply scan a dedicated QR code issued from any PC, tablet, or smartphone to instantly and securely join a simultaneous interpretation channel via standard web browsers.

Furthermore, the following proprietary patented technologies ensure rock-solid reliability in simultaneous interpretation:

- Surrounding Speaker/Noise Filtering Technology: Identifies multiple speakers' voices even in noisy exhibition halls or lobbies, focusing on and capturing the target speaker's voice for interpretation. - Contextual Consistency Maintenance Technology: Understands semantic relationships across conversations, including subject and predicate omissions. - Domain-Specific Interpretation Dictionary Function: Allows flexible custom registration of niche technical terms across approximately 1,000 specialized fields such as law, medicine, IT, manufacturing, and finance.

Proven Track Record on Global International Stages and Major Conferences, Including Japan

'SconChat' has already been deployed at large-scale, high-profile summits across Asia, earning recognition for its durability and accuracy.

- APEC 25 Gyeongju CEO Summit: Officially adopted for keynote speeches featuring heads of state and global IT leaders, delivering smooth real-time subtitles on screens and personalized multilingual subtitles for attendees. - Osaka-Kansai Expo (EXPO 2025) Korea Pavilion: Deployed at information desks to assist inbound tourists with rapid multilingual instant guidance.

Additionally, it has been officially adopted as the simultaneous interpretation engine in advanced business fields requiring high security and specialized vocabulary, including the East Asia Business Forum, NVIDIA Technology Conference, global executive meetings of major life insurance companies, and Seoul's Foreign Resident Center.
