Curator’s notes


ReadEasy is an offline-first Android app that uses on-device OCR and AI-powered translation to make printed text accessible for users with dyslexia, visual impairments, or language barriers. It captures text from images, translates it into 50+ languages, reads it aloud, and displays it in a dyslexia-friendly format — all without requiring internet access. Built with ML Kit, Jetpack, and Kotlin, it’s designed for speed, clarity, and inclusivity. Whether you're reading a medicine label, navigating a foreign street, or learning a new language, ReadEasy empowers you to understand the world around you — instantly and privately.
