Client:
A well known Taiwanese Electronic Manufacturing Company,
very reputable in the fields of hand held pocket dictionaries
of all kinds
Location:
Taiwan
Objective:
The objective of this project was to create a new
Arabic/English, English/Arabic hand held dictionary.
Being the most well known in this field, INFO ARAB
was approached in order to develop the entire software
for the dictionary in addition to the normal software
functions of an electronic agenda, like calendar,
addresses and phone numbers, games… ISIS provided
all components and a bit of regional “flavor” such
as the Islamic prayer times in the calendar.
Challenges:
This project had to
be developed using a Zilog computer chip.
Very limited storage
and memory capacities in order to keep the price limitations
of the product.
The product needed
to be designed using this framework but also keeping
optimum performance of the instrument.
To overcome the distance
and communication problems that may arise when two
technical teams are working thousands of kilometers
apart.
Solutions:
Provided three versions
of the developed pocket dictionary and launched them
into the market. Each dictionary was equipped with
different features and capabilities in order to provide
a variety of models to meet the needs of each consumer
in features and cost.
Continuous communication
between the two technical teams and all involved in
project. Four visits from Cairo to Taiwan and vise
versa to affirm success of project.
Scope of project included
manual editing, artwork design and final testing.
Technical Skills:
C++ Developers
Assembly Developers
Hardware Engineers
Duration and Staff:
Lifetime of project approximately 9 months with a
team of 8 people including a technical writer, linguitions,
and Q & A testers.
