Press release from the issuing company:
Kyocera Document Solutions Inc. President Takashi Nagai will present its real-time caption display system “Cotopat” in the United States for the first time at CES 2026, one of the world’s largest technology trade shows. From January 6-9, 2026, Kyocera Document Solutions Inc. will co-exhibit at Kyocera Corporation’s group booth at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
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.
With Cotopat, Kyocera Document Solutions aims to realize an inclusive society where no one is left behind. 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.
*As of October 2025
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.
*Can be enabled/disabled via administrator settings. All conversation data is processed in compliance with applicable privacy regulations.
