The “Flexible Integration of Recognition and Semantic” project, led by Dr Arvin Tang, has won Gold Award in the Asia International Innovative Invention Award 2019. The Handwritten OCR technology can recognise handwritten traditional and simplified Chinese, Hong Kong colloquial language and special characters, English block letters and numeric digits. This application is highly accurate in Chinese character recognition, and is especially useful for Chinese address correction, saving time and improving reliability for organisations that have to process large number of handwritten forms.
In its 9th year, the Asia International Innovative Invention Award recognises the achievements of local companies, research teams and individuals for their patented inventions, as well as promotes the spirit of creativity and innovation.
