Integrate libraries with mobile platforms : Kalam


“With advancing linguistic translation and processing power available in mobile phones, we can develop real time translation facilities by which any book can be translated in any language by the mobile application itself. We can also enable voice over for these books, so that people with visual impairment or limited reading ability can access the wealth of books and libraries. In this way, we can truly transcend barriers of language, distance, cost and even reading ability- and make books reach even the last person of the nation,”

He appealed to the people to consider creating home libraries as it would enable the entire family to discuss on common topics. Apart from enriching the knowledge of every family member this reading habit creates a healthy discussion among the family members which is essential for the sustained harmony of the entire family.
