Two Chinese companies, ReadWorld and Huajian Translation System, offer similar products, but Ms Wee claims EWGate has higher accuracy. Another important factor behind KRDL's success is its partnerships with Apple Computer, Ericsson, HP Labs, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems and research labs at the University of Pennsylvania, John Hopkins Medical Centre and the Mayo Clinic. KRDL's collaboration with Apple resulted in the incorporation of speech and handwriting recognition technologies into the computer maker's product. US medical centre Johns Hopkins tapped the research centre's expertise in medical imaging to facilitate the planning and execution of complex surgical procedures. It is all about relationships and people.
Good people are hard to find.
It is a big challenge to find tech talents. One place where KRDL keeps going back to for talent is the Indian Institute of Science. We would try to recruit the top two to three researchers from there. All we need is about two to four good people every year to lead and we will see results. All rights reserved.
