capito App
Education
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Read and understand difficult texts without problems by using the barrier-free capito app. Our app helps you to understand information all kinds of information. You only need a capito QR code of the original text or you click through the available content.
► How does the capito app work?
- Click through the easy-to-understand content of the app
- Or: Scan a capito QR code and retrieve the easily understandable translations
- Select the desired language level (A1, A2, B1, original text)
► Functions of the capito app:
- Use 6 available languages for selected documents (German, English, Italian, Spanish, Polish, French)
- Information in up to 4 language levels A1, A2, B1 and Original Text (difficult to understand to easy-to-read texts)
- Have texts read aloud
- Play audio files (e.g. when used as audio guides for museums)
- News in easy-to-understand language
- Videos in sign language
- Saving favorites
- Scan QR codes to move from the hard-to-understand original document to the easy-to-understand information
► Who is capito?
capito translates difficult texts into easily understandable language and makes them available in an app. Why do we do that? Because a large part of information used by companies and authorities is not understandable to everyone and thus does not reach people. Being able to understand information is the basic requirement for an inclusive society and successful communication.
► You want to use the capito App for business?
- capito translates your texts and contents into easily understandable language and makes them available in the app
- With the app, you can make your easily understandable content available to your target group without barriers
- The capito App is suitable for any form of content, whether contracts, legal texts, exhibition information, instructions for use, etc.
- The capito App can be used as an audio guide (e.g. for museums)

General improvements

Made some minor changes to the user interface to improve the experience and fixed some bugs!

After months of hard work, the new capito App is finally available for everyone to enjoy!
These are the highlights:
• We completely redesigned the user interface and experience: keeping the good, scrapping the bad.
• To be able to test the capito App, a default document is already on the device after installing, in case no capito QR-Code is available to scan. This document provides detailed explanations on how to use the App.
• To make it easier to know how to scan a QR-Code, we added an outline of the capito QR-Code to the scanner. Don't have a capito QR-Code to scan? Just try any other QR-Code with a web link ;-)
• To find out more about a document, we added a button where you can find details about the author, the content and even the capito QR-Code, which can be used to share the document with smartphones nearby!
• Expanding our horizons, the user interface now fully supports English and German. But this is just the beginning; many more languages are to come!
• For your convenience, the capito App now detects the language of a page automatically and sets the language for the “Reading-Aloud” function accordingly.
• The capito App remembers the last language level you set and automatically opens the document using this setting when scanning the document again.
• Since things can always change, the capito App now updates the title and thumbnail of documents in the list and is always up to date.
• We are constantly improving the performance and stability of our App. This release will now only download the data needed, which decreases the amount of data used significantly. Errors should be handled with more care, as well!
• We have made so many small changes and improvements that would just make this text much too long!
We did our best to give you the best experience, but we know that there are still things to improve. Therefore, if you have any feedback or request for us concerning the new capito App, please get in touch and send us an email to capitoapp@capito.eu!
