About this app

Kids SmartReader turns any page into a read-aloud lesson. Point the camera at a book, photo, or PDF — Kids SmartReader recognizes the text on your device and reads it aloud, word by word or continuously, while highlighting exactly what's being said. Then your child can speak the words back and practice pronunciation.

WHY FAMILIES USE KIDS SMARTREADER
• Turns physical books, worksheets, and handouts into read-aloud practice in seconds
• Built for early and struggling readers, language learners, and anyone who learns better by listening
• Listen, then speak: hear each word, say it out loud, and see how you did
• No cloud upload of your photos or your child's voice — recognition and speech happen on the device

READ IN 12 LANGUAGES
English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Indonesian, Italian, Kiswahili, Portuguese, Turkish, Russian, and Bahasa Melayu — with on-device translation between them. Choose a mother tongue and each word is shown with its translation as it is read, so a child can read a French worksheet with a translation alongside it.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Snap a photo, pick one from your gallery, or open a PDF
2. Kids SmartReader recognizes the text on your device (no internet required for most languages)
3. Tap Start Reading — follow along as each word is highlighted and read aloud
4. Tap Practice, speak the words yourself, and get instant on-device feedback

READING MODES
• Word-by-word — for early readers building word recognition
• Continuous — for fluent read-alongs
• Pronunciation practice — read a word or sentence yourself and see how you did
• Adjustable speed, highlight colors, and a choice of voices

SAVE & RESUME
Save a scanned page as a session and reopen it anytime — perfect for revisiting a favorite story or finishing a worksheet later.
