This app allows users to read or write 4 different types of documents, journals, stories, quotes and poems through a rich text editor. Each section is divided by language so that each user can use the language they prefer or improve the idiom they are studying. There is a profile page where you can link your social networks, view your followers or users we follow and read comments other users may have left on our profile. There is a trophy system, specifically each day, week and month the documents that have received the most likes for each language and type of document will be chosen.

Accessible Reading for Visual Media Vizling makes comics, maps, and other visual texts more accessible for blind, low-vision, and sighted users. Grounded in narrative theory, Vizling helps readers understand how meaning is built across an entire page (global structure), from panel to panel (narrative flow), and within each image (item composition). With audio modes for both big-picture layout and close-up detail, Vizling supports meaningful engagement with multimodal media—whether for enjoyment, education, or research. The Vizling app was developed at Wichita State University with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Vizling was one of the winners of the Accessible Comics Design Competition, sponsored by The Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability in collaboration with Comic Studies and the Program in Visual Impairments at San Francisco State University.
