Jeon Hwa-sung's Startup Morning Coffee 1187: Redefining Core Keywords

## AI Education That Listens to Children's Voices, Launched by Startup 'Uri-deol' Every day at 8:40 AM, 'Startup Morning Coffee,' broadcast live on Jeon Hwa-sung's CNTV channel, has established itself as an information platform that highlights the innovations of promising startups and invigorates the startup ecosystem through interactive communication with real-time viewers. In a recent broadcast, the startup 'Uri-deol,' which introduced technology poised to fundamentally transform children's learning engagement, garnered attention. **Uri-deol Solves the Chronic Problem in Children's Education** Uri-deol directly addresses the problem where existing edutech services failed to accurately recognize children's voices, thereby hindering learning effectiveness. AI voice recognition technology, mostly trained on adult models, struggled to properly recognize children's immature pronunciation and intonation, resulting in a low recognition rate of only about 47%. This was a chronic issue that obstructed children's learning engagement and diminished educational effectiveness. It is precisely at this point that Uri-deol begins its innovation. Uri-deol, which develops immersive educational content based on an AI voice recognition model that accurately recognizes children's speech, creates an environment where children can freely converse with characters within the content through its advanced voice recognition engine. This allows children to naturally participate in learning as if talking to a friend, maximizing educational effectiveness. Currently, Uri-deol is on a growth trajectory, having been recognized for its potential through CNT Tech's Seongnam Startup Rising support program. **Unrivaled Technology Forged by 15,000 Hours of Data** Uri-deol's core competitive advantage lies in 'data'. Thanks to independently building a vast dataset of Korean children's voices, amounting to an astonishing 15,000 hours, they achieved a remarkable feat: raising the recognition rate of their child-specific voice recognition engine to 87%. This is an overwhelming figure that surpasses the limitations of existing technology, boasting robust performance based on multitasking learning that encompasses age, gender, and even dialects, helping children interact naturally with content in any environment. Based on this unrivaled technology, Uri-deol is simultaneously developing its own B2C educational content and actively building an API-based B2B business model to allow other edutech companies to utilize its advanced child voice recognition engine. A notable strategy is also not to miss out on the professionalism of the content, through joint development with specialized institutions like Seoul National University's Department of Child and Family Studies. **CEO Jeon Hwa-sung's One-Point Comment: Expected to Grow into a Core Infrastructure for Edutech** CEO Jeon Hwa-sung, who hosts 'Startup Morning Coffee,' highly praised Uri-deol as "a technology-intensive startup that has solved a fundamental problem (low recognition rate) in the edutech market by securing a large volume of children's voice data, which is known to be the most difficult to build." He further expressed his expectation that Uri-deol is innovating children's immersive learning experiences and will rapidly grow into a core infrastructure company providing differentiated AI engines to edutech companies both domestically and internationally. The future educational ecosystem that Uri-deol will create is highly anticipated.
