Google is hoping that this will help the children with their reading skills. The company on Wednesday unveiled its new Bolo Android app that is a speech-based reading-tutor app. They made it for those rural kids, who are not able have a good education support system. Being released in India first, the Bolo app is now available for free via Google Play and can work offline. This is the greatest advantage of this app,that it can work offline.
Google is hoping that it will be useful for the smart & digital classroom. This will help to get an education in rural areas as well as for children from financially struggling families. Google is hoping to change that by using smartphones, which are increasingly becoming a common sight, even in rural areas.
Google said in a statement.“We believe technology has the power to help transform teaching and learning, and have been actively directing our products, programs and philanthropy to ensure that all students are able to benefit from it,”.
The Bolo app helps the children improve their Hindi and English reading skills by encouraging them to read and speak wel. It comes with a large number of engaging stories, which the company hopes, will help the children to help improve their comprehensive skills. The app's design is very easy that a children don't need any help in using it and can read all by themselves. Google notes that all the reading material on the app is free and it is working with other companies to bring more content to this app. The app is based on Google's speech recognition and text-to-speech technology.
To encourage childrens to use the app, Google has added rewards function and badges to Bolo as well as word games.
The company says the app includes an animated digital assistant called Diya. This assistant can read the text out loud for the children and even explain the meaning of the English word. Diya can speak English as well as Hindi, and will encourage the kids by giving them compliments when they finish a task.
Further more,the app can be shared among many kids and provides a personalised experience to all. So, if a family has two children's, they can both use the app and track their individual progress day by day.
Given the app is going to be used by children, there is the important question of privacy. Google notes that it does collect images and voice data from the app but that is stored locally and is meant to help in the functioning of the application. In addition to this personal data, the search giant will also be collecting other anonymous information like device information, usage statistics, preferred language, reading and search history, and other settings.
