Meetings in any language,
translated in real time.

As people speak, YAKUON translates what they say into another language and places it right next to the original, on one screen — an AI meeting assistant built to translate meetings in real time. It supports Japanese, Vietnamese, and English, and keeps technical terms accurate with a dictionary. Recording and automatic minutes are built in, so a multilingual meeting simply works, right there. As a reseller partner, SHANNON supports you from rollout through operations.

Pain points

Do any of these meeting challenges sound familiar?

Multilingual meetings, the burden of minutes, and the handling of meeting data — we solve the friction around meetings all at once.

Multilingual meetings eat up cost and time arranging interpreters or translations.
Taking minutes keeps you from focusing on the meeting itself.
Existing transcription and translation garble your technical and in-house terms.
You are uneasy about entrusting confidential meetings to an external cloud.
Meetings with the field or with overseas offices lead to misalignment.
Looking back at the minutes, you cannot tell who said what.
Value

Six things YAKUON delivers

It brings the chores of meetings — recording, translation, minutes — into one, so you can focus on the meeting itself.

01

Translate the whole meeting in real time

Real-time translation removes the language barrier. Original and translation sit side by side, so you can read the other language as people speak. Japanese, Vietnamese, and English are supported.

02

Zero minute-taking burden

The moment a meeting ends, AI generates minutes complete with a summary and decisions. No more scribbling — your team can focus on the meeting itself.

03

Accurate jargon, via a dictionary

Register terms in the dictionary to improve recognition and translation of industry-specific and in-house vocabulary. Even similar-sounding words resolve to the registered term.

04

On-premises option

With an on-premises setup on your own environment, confidential meeting data never leaves your network. The data belongs to you.

05

No installation

No dedicated software to install — just start in your browser (Chrome recommended). Works in the meeting room and in online meetings (Teams, Meet).

06

Flexible licensing

Choose an annual or perpetual software license, and combine it with operational support. Users are unlimited — the more broadly you roll it out, the lower the per-person cost.

How it works

Just three steps

No special setup. From recording to minutes, it all happens on one screen.

  • 01Record — record the meeting and turn it into text on the spot. In the meeting room or in an online meeting (Teams, Meet). Speakers are identified automatically.
  • 02Real-time translation — as people speak, the original and its translation appear side by side. One tap swaps the two.
  • 03AI minutes — when the meeting ends, the minutes, with summary and decisions, are already there. Standardize the format with templates, and export to PDF.

Security

Your meeting data is yours

Because meetings can be confidential, we design for where the data lives and how it is protected from the start.

Data ownership
The meeting data belongs to you. The provider does not access customer data.
Access control
Role-based access control and per-project data separation.
Encryption & audit
Encryption in transit and at rest (TLS 1.2+ / at-rest), IP restrictions, and audit logs.
External AI
External AI engines are used under a policy of no training on, and no long-term retention of, your data.
On-premises
Deploy on your own environment and meeting data never leaves your network.

Comparison

Compared with the alternatives

Any approach can "record a meeting." The dividing line is whether it fits the reality of multilingual, jargon-heavy, confidential meetings.

Run it by hand

  • Minutes are written by hand after the meeting
  • Tends to depend on individuals
  • Technical terms need aligning each time
