Microsoft's Garage Intern Team Make English Learning App

San Francisco: Eight interns from Microsoft’s Garage Intern Team have developed an Android app - Read My World - for people willing to learn the English language. The app requires and allows users to take a photo to identify an object from a library of over 1,500 vocabulary words, the company wrote in a blog-post on Thursday. Using syllabification and text-to-speech features, the user can hear and see the spelling of the object as a vocabulary word, then add it to a personal dictionary for practice later. The app would let users see the spelling and hear the phonetic pronunciation of identified vocab words. (IANS)
