Appen: an Aussie success story

IT Industry - Deals

Australian speech recognition technology developer, Appen, has won the Information and Communications Technology Exporter of the Year award in the 2005 Premier's NSW Export Awards.

The company claims, in "barely six years" to have become "a global leader in its field, attracting a world-class client base that includes IBM, Microsoft, Sony, Siemens, Nuance/ScanSoft, Telstra and a number of Australian and US government and defence organisations."

It has grown five-fold since it began exporting in 1999 and says that, today, exports account for 90 percent of total revenue.

Appen claims to process linguistic data at "world's best accuracy and productivity" in more than 50 languages (which it says is more than any of its competitors) and says its products can be found in telephone call centres; command and control applications such as are used in mobile phones and in-car navigation systems; and in government homeland security and defence applications.
