alego – an AI-based learning app for adult literacy training and daily transfer of learning

Anika L. Freitag

People who can barely read and write have reduced access to information and limited social participation. This affects one in eight adults in Germany. Alego provides a solution by allowing unfamiliar texts to be photographed, scanned and read aloud through a smartphone. AI algorithms generate individual everyday exercises based on the uploaded information. The aim is to provide immediate improvement that can motivate and lead to long-term learning success and a positive self-image.
