Company History

Rising Edge Technology (RET) was founded in August 1996. The original founding capital was 5 million NT dollars. In December 1999, the company transacted an increase in cash and expanded its capital up to 30 million NT dollars. In the mean time, the company turned itself from a limited company into a company limited by shares and published stocks.

In March 2000, Pacific Magtron International Corp. (PMIC), a NASDAQ public company in California, observed a great potential of RET. PMIC invested in the company and became RET’s stockholder holding with 25% stocks. RET not only cooperated with PMIC in developing many innovative systems in Internet, but also co-founded a high-tech subsidiary company called Lea Publishing LLC., a company in which RET held 50% stocks. It is expected that our products will cover not only Chinese markets but also global markets in the near future.

Product Series

Web tools
FrontPage 98 Tutorial, Get On Internet Treasury and Lucky Mail are a series of our Internet products. HiNet, the greatest ISP in Taiwan, had assigned our company to design a Get On Internet software as one of our projects. Each HiNet member is given a piece of CD-ROM produced by our company.

Mass data processing
We created fast search engine to digitize mass original data. Series of vocal CD and electronic dictionary CD were produced with these techniques, e.g. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Anthology of World's Greatest Literature (Part 1 to 3), Aesop's Fables and All-Purposed (Point & Get) Vocal Dictionary.

We produced multi-media software using the technique of mixing sound, screens and words, e.g. "Movie English Classroom", "VCD Player" and other products.

Voice processing
We have wave editing programs, which can clear background noises (this tool is used for Audio Books & dictionary). This tool will automatically create time code linked with words. Our Chinese "Text to Speech" component can read ANY Chinese or English sentences.

OS Kernel
The special technique of "instantly translates words while mouse points to" (i.e. "Point & Get") fully express our specialty in operating system, eg. All-Purposed (Point & Get) Vocal Dictionary. We are the first company owning this technology under NT environment. (This technology needs to hook Windows "TextOut" API to get the word mouse points. It's difficult because processes have different memory spaces).
