Kardome’s mission statement
Whether in a crowded cafe, working at home, or in the family car, Kardome’s AI-driven speech-clustering technology treats each person in the environment as if they are the only person talking. No more frustrations of repeated commands or having to find a quiet corner.
What led you to start your company?
Kardome came into existence during a gathering of Dr. Dani Cherkassky and Dr. Alon Slapak with like-minded fellow engineers. Dani (future CEO) and Alon (future VP R&D) knew they wanted to build something together. After several barbecue get-togethers, they landed on speech recognition, or rather, the lack of intelligible speech recognition and voice communication devices.
The founders spent the ultimate inspiring-startup-barbecue discussing end-user frustrations with voice command and speech recognition devices and how to improve voice user interface design in such systems. Their passion, combined with extensive knowledge in acoustics, advanced machine learning, and signal processing algorithms, bore the fruit of Kardome’s leading-edge VUI technology.
