The document summarizes a talking pen innovation by Aadarsh Pvt. Ltd that allows printed books to be read aloud. The pen contains a built-in speaker and can store audio files to read text when placed over specially coded books. This assists those who cannot read normally, including the illiterate, dyslexic, and visually impaired. The pen has potential applications for education, language learning, and preserving less common languages but faces challenges regarding costs, distribution, and competing technologies. The innovation aims to promote literacy while respecting principles of social equity and global scalability.
The 4th Annual eLearning Innovators Conference & Expo (ELICE), an international conference for mobile educators, researchers, innovators & leaders, was held between 12th-16th September at KICD in Nairobi. This year's event attracted over 300 delegates during the five day event. www.elice.co
The CLABIL Outreach Program is our audacious project to take CLABIL - the online audio library, directly to the people who will benefit from it.
We take the content, play it, gather feedback, aid adoption.
This is a crowdsourced project - our volunteers are our last mile - taking it to communities that already know them. And the entire project is managed by a PMO that works on remote collaboration using the Agile methodology.

We that know education is not a luxury but a necessity in today's life. It's a human right and every individual including blind and visually impaired people should also take it. It is very difficult for them to manage their education and learning process. According to recent study it has been found that over 200+ million blind people and visually impaired people are there and the number is growing. so the user have develop a learning application in which a blind or visually impaired student can study on their own without including third party in it. The student will be able to separately operate the application. Here they will be able to study various subjects of their choice, they will be able to take their own notes, and also take tests on the subject. The prime goal of this application is to solve the problem of the blind students regarding their education or studying pattern. Here they will be able to move the cursor anywhere on the desktop and the text will be dictated in the human synthesized AI voice using TTS conversion. They can easily make notes by simply dictating their points to the system, and the system will be convert into text format and also we can listened to it in an audio format. Once the learning part is done, and the student have to revise the particular topic then he/she can give test on that topic by using hand gestures. So here the system will help the visually impaired/blind student to learn and operate the system independently and also they will be able to use it as per their suitable time preference. So, the system is developed to resolve the problem of students being dependent on the third party in their studies and to increase their interest in studies. Hence, not only blind people but also other handicapped people will be able to use this application.

7. Functioning The pen is really a multimedia print reader with an built-in speaker system and the capability to stock audio files. It runs on battery and it will work continuously for about 7 hours. It can only be used on MPR coded books When the pen is positioned over a book with MPR codes, it activates the pre-loaded audio files, so a reader is also able to hear the text they are reading. Any Publisher can ask for its book to be made compatible with the pen by asking the company which will send prerecorded audio files to it. These books will be of the same cost as the normal books.
8. Utility This education tool will also cater to the special needs of the visually challenged population and people suffering from various types of Dyslexia. It can also be used as a self learning aid to illiterates, semi literates and also weak students. Makes learning process more interactive, interesting and educational. learning new languages by getting the right pronunciation Distance education and vocational courses Skills can be taught in the local language which would make learning easier
