The Hindu
It simplifies technical jargon and is available for free
Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE), in collaboration with Reading Right, an Ed-Tech start-up, has launched ‘Smarticles’, noetic (Intelligence-driven) news articles taken from newspapers/periodicals/journals written by experts. The app explains the articles in a simple manner using technology that brings into play text, image, video and audio modes.
Reading Right is providing this app free of cost for one year to students of Andhra Pradesh and it can be downloaded from the Google Play Store (Android version) and the App Store (iOS version) while a web version is available at web.readingright.in.
“Many students find it difficult to comprehend newspaper jargon and therefore lose interest in reading them. We have employed a technology that explains the articles in a lucid way using text, image, video and audio modes,” says K. Hemachandra Reddy, chairman of APSCHE.
