BrightEars

BrightEARS – Bringing stories and learning to life for every child, everywhere.

BrightEARS is an AI-powered app that makes learning and storytelling accessible for blind, deaf, and autistic children by converting text, images, and real-world scenes into engaging stories through speech, visual cues, and simplified content.

It transforms everyday content—such as textbooks, images, and real-world scenes—into engaging, accessible formats like narrated stories, visual storytelling with cues, simplified text, or even sign language (roadmap). By leveraging Azure Speech Services, AI Agent Builder in OutSystems, and AI vision models, BrightEARS enables blind, deaf, and autistic children to independently learn, explore, and connect with the world around them.
The solution fosters confidence, emotional well-being, and curiosity through features like Daily Discovery, voice-guided storytime, real-time visual interpretation, and AI summarization—making education and storytelling barrier-free, interactive, and personalized.

Key Capabilities & Responsibilities:

• BrightEars transforms everyday documents like PDFs, images, videos into delightful, easy-to-understand stories using friendly voice narration.
• Whether it’s a textbook, a fairy tale, or a learning worksheet, BrightEars reads and summarizes it like a caring teacher or a loving friend. 
• With every word spoken, Blind children explore the world through sound, imagination, and joy.
