Project description
Turning tricky texts into easily understandable language
For newly arrived immigrants struggling to adjust to a new language and people with learning disabilities who may need support to understand complicated information, the EU-funded CAPITO project has developed an innovative solution. Its goal is to make information understandable for everyone. The project developed a mobile app that can translate complex information to three easy language levels (A1, A2 and B1) in English, German, Portuguese and Spanish. According to the project, barrier-free information enables users to enjoy an equal footing in society with equal opportunities. The app also benefits businesses and government offices by eliminating the need for them to provide customers with additional support.
