Hosted by the Korean Radiological Technologists Association, the congress brought together clinical radiological technologists, researchers and representatives of related institutions from across the country to share the latest research findings and clinical experience. Barotune helped attendees follow the presentations by providing real-time captions for academic sessions running from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Attendees viewed Korean and English captions on venue screens and their personal smartphones. This helped them follow specialized presentations on medical imaging and radiology in the language they were comfortable with. ## Presentation-based custom glossaries address technical terminology Accurately conveying technical terms, figures and units is essential when interpreting at medical academic events. This congress featured a wide range of medical and radiology terminology, including imaging equipment names such as CT, MRI and PET, as well as radiation doses, contrast agents and imaging protocols. Before the event, Barotune built custom glossaries based on presentation materials, compiling specialized terminology by field, institution names and speaker names. It incorporated these into real-time speech recognition and caption generation to support interpretation suited to the context of each presentation. It also generated captions sequentially as presentations progressed. Barotune said its advance terminology preparation and real-time caption processing technology enabled it to reliably support the specialized academic sessions throughout the day. ## QR code access brings captions to personal smartphones Participants could scan QR codes displayed at the venue to view captions directly on their smartphones. Web-based access simplified the process, while the combined use of venue screens and personal devices made captions more accessible. This approach can be adapted flexibly to the event space and participants’ circumstances. Organizers provide translated captions on venue screens, while attendees can also follow presentation content on their personal devices. ![Barotune Provides Live Medical Translation at 61st Korean Radiological Congress]() No description ## Expanding use at medical and biotechnology academic events Barotune has previously provided real-time AI interpretation at medical and biotechnology events, including the 2026 Confederation of Medical Associations in Asia and Oceania (CMAAO) General Assembly in Seoul, hosted by the Korean Medical Association, as well as Celltrion events and the SID implant symposium. In September, it was also used at the Web3 conference “Ethereum Korea One: Genesis.” By preparing terminology tailored to each event’s topics and presentations, it is expanding its use in highly specialized fields such as medicine and blockchain. The Korean Congress of Radiological Technologists demonstrated how customized terminology preparation and real-time caption technology can support the communication of specialized knowledge. Barotune is expanding its services to help participants share research findings and practical experience across languages at a range of academic and industry events. ## Links in this article - [Barotune](https://barotune.com/)
