Bolo: Learn to read with Google – Apps on Google Play

Designed for primary grade children, Bolo helps to improve their English & Hindi reading skills, by encouraging them to read aloud - just as they would naturally do - and giving them instant feedback - even when completely offline.

Bolo comes with a fun and helpful reading tutor, “Diya”, which is powered by the same speech technology that is in the Google Assistant.

Bolo helps your children:

Read all by themselves: Bolo listens to what your child reads, encourages them when they read well and helps them when they get stuck - just like a real reading tutor.

Choose from a large variety of engaging stories in both English & Hindi: All the reading material on the app is completely free and the initial catalogue consists of 50 stories in Hindi & 40 in English [with more to come]; all very carefully selected.

Understand English better: Diya can not only read out the text to you but also explain the meaning of English text in Hindi.

Enjoy as they learn: Children can also play interesting word games and earn in-app awards, helping reading become both fun and a daily habit.

Personalised for each child: Multiple children can use the same app, and track their progress separately. Over time the difficulty level of recommended stories adjusts to their reading skills.

Read without distractions (and without data too): The app works even when completely offline, and shows no ads, so your children can just focus on reading.

Let us inspire your children to fall in love with reading and become better readers!

Note: The app UI and Diya’s voice are in Hindi, and the app is optimised for use on phones.

Official Google India Blog: Powering the digital economy; building a helpful Google for everyone in India

Last year we launched Bolo, a speech-based app that helps children learn how to read -- today we’re adding Bangla, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu to it, and expanding our content pool by partnering with publishers like Chotta Bheem and Katha Kids. Bolo has already helped 800,000 young Indians read stories more than three million times and speak half a billion words. We are working with partners like Saajha, the Kaivalya Education Foundation, Pratham Education Foundation and Room to Read-- and looking forward to making it available to even more Indian families.
