Extract :
The top start up, Trestle Labs has developed a solution – Kibo – that translates and digitises printed, audio, handwritten and digital content in 60 global languages, including 12 Indian languages.
“Our vision is to empower the blind and visually impaired community to access any kind of printed handwritten or digital content independently through audio in real-time,” explained Bonny Dave, Founder, Trestle Labs Pvt Ltd.
The company has developed three products across three different aspects of a visually impaired person’s life, including lifestyle, learning and employment.
The Kibo range consists of the Kibo app, a Kibo XS device for scanning and listening to hardcopy printed and handwritten documents and the Kibo desk meant for listening, translating and digitising images and scanned PDFs.
The Kibo app is already being used by over 40,000 users in 15 countries including India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria and Bangladesh.
It aims to make educational institutions and workplaces inclusive. Thus far this product has over 10,000 monthly active users, has positively impacted 45,000 individuals and made over 300 institutions inclusive. The Kibo app is empowering people across 15 countries and over 22 million documents have been made accessible through it, with users spending over 40 million minutes of reading-learning time on the platform. 75 per cent of its existing customer base is the B2B segment, wherein it focuses on schools, colleges, libraries, NGOs, and workplaces while the B2C segment includes 25 per cent of individuals, who are visually impaired individuals, primarily working-class individuals.
SignAble Communication, which has placed second, addresses speech and language disability through a video remote interpretation (VRI) solution that provides live interpretation in Indian Sign Language (ISL) via a mobile app. Essentially, the solution provides live human interpreters-on-demand for anyone, anytime, anywhere, affordably, and at the touch of a button.
“It (the solution) enables deaf people to communicate with hearing people ubiquitously and hearing people to talk to deaf people ubiquitously,” explained Tarun Sarwal, CEO, SignAble Communication Pvt. Ltd
Deaf persons suffer from social isolation, the majority are illiterate, have little or no access to education and employment. The preferred language of communication is sign language but very few people, even in their families, learn it.
With regards,

Personal.ai Newsletter: We’re opening our waitlist & Forbes 30 Under 30 awardee Kristie Kaiser
Our team has been hard at work to scale our systems to accommodate the thousands of new creators who joined Personal.ai.
Hi Hemen, We're opening up the Waitlist! Our team has been hard at work to scale our systems to accommodate the thousands of new creators who joined Personal.ai.

We will be contacting people individually, in order of sign-up, to create their new accounts, so be on the lookout for an email from Personal.ai in the near future. In the meantime- invite your friends to our community and to join the waitlist and let them know the exciting news so you can start creating new memories and recalling the old ones - together. |
Forbes 30 Under 30 of 2022: Kristie Kaiser This week, we are celebrating an amazing achievement by Kristie Kaiser, our co-founder and Head of Design. She has been recognized by Forbes as part of their 30 Under 30 Class of 2022, a list of the brightest young entrepreneurs, leaders, and stars in the field of Consumer Technology. The judges’ selection of Kristie is a testament to her unrelenting and top-quality work and leadership in carving the future of Personal.ai. |
Kristie holds a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from San Diego State University. She previously worked at Aira, where she created innovative solutions for the blind and low-vision community. Her passion for design and solving important problems naturally led her to co-found Personal.ai with Suman, Sharon, and Marc. Personal.ai would not be possible today without her, where the team is tackling memory retention and recall with the help of AIs. Among her many accomplishments this year, Kristie was issued a patent with Suman and Sharon for a Memory Retention System that intelligently retains and recalls memory data, the basis for Personal.ai. If you are interested, you can read about it at personal.ai/ip. |
"Kristie’s soul is designed to bring life to human-computer interaction. Over the past decade, there has been exponential adoption of devices in our lives. Yet, not every device and every interface is accessible for everyone. Kristie is that balance that the world needs to make human-computer interaction design an integral part of the process. A perfect UX puts people at ease, is natural, is fluid, and is inclusive. A perfect UX needs empathy, maturity, patience, and deep thought with every human desire. These are the characteristics that Kristie possesses that are irreplaceable.
As my co-founder at Personal.ai, she is dealing with the hardest challenge that we have yet to witness; the challenge of creating a UX for human recall, much beyond what traditional search has to offer. People search for information but recall their memories, and I know Kristie’s work at Personal.ai will be integrated into every person’s life to recall more and live like a superhuman. She is designing the future."
- Suman Kanuganti, Founder & CEO at Personal.ai |
"Kristie taught me what it means to ‘Design for Everyone’ and truly build with every human in mind. Her passion for inclusive design and deep empathy for the users show up in every pixel of the product and our user experience." - Sharon Zhang, Co-founder & CTO at Personal.ai |
"Kristie is an amazing designer and a visionary founder and her accolades, our product’s design, and this award attest to that. But what you may not see if you’re not a member of our team is the original leadership style she brings that is necessary to not only build a new kind of product but a new kind of company that truly is inclusive, diverse, and authentic. I am constantly learning from Kristie." - Marc Ettlinger, Co-founder & Chief Science Officer at Personal.ai |
