BackStage Buddy vs Richy Learning

Backstage Buddy app is aimed for those who wants to practice their theatre lines. This app allows the users to upload their script pages which could be paper pages. Backstage Buddy being a smart app is able to detect the character names, dialogs, and stage directions from the paper pages of the script. It creates an online digital version of the script pages and stores into the app. So, now the app has all the script pages that the user wants to practice. It maintains the script layout where each character name is followed by the dialog it delivers. It shows the list of all characters from the scripts as well. This app smartly provides the ability to add new character, and new dialog in case any dialog was missed while scanning. It provides unique functionality to assign various voices to each characters of the script. When the user wants to practice their line, they can assign any particular character to themselves. For this character, the dialogs will be said by the user. User can assign the rest of the characters in the script to ‘AI Buddy’, the characters from Backstage Buddy. These AI buddies will say the dialogs assigned to them. In this way the user is able to rehearse the entire script with this app.

Richy Learning is a visual, spoken and adaptive learning app designed to support communication, understanding and answering questions for autistic learners, people with learning disabilities, and others who benefit from visual learning support. Richy combines clear pictures, spoken questions and interactive practice to help learners understand what is being asked, choose or say an answer, and build skills at their own pace. Learners can respond by tapping a picture or speaking their answer, making Richy suitable for different communication preferences and abilities. A short baseline placement helps identify a sensible starting point across different skill areas. Richy then adapts practice over time based on the learner’s responses and progress rather than placing the learner at one fixed overall level. Practice includes areas such as: * Everyday objects and vocabulary * Who, What and Where questions * Object functions * Prepositions * Same and Different * Prediction * Visual inference * Story sequencing * Problem and solution * Explaining and describing Parents and carers can view progress and see which areas may need more practice, helping them better understand the learner’s developing strengths. Richy is learning-focused and does not require a diagnosis or medical history to get started. See it. Hear it. Say it. Learn it.
