The problems we are aiming to solve through this alliance
Indians on an average spend 4 hours per day hooked on to their mobile screens swiping short form video content on social media and binge watching movies
This has adversely impacted our attention spans and will also likely impact our language skills in the future.
Even news today is preferred to be consumed in the form of videos and podcasts rather than through reading, according to a Reuters survey
We acknowledge the reality of audio books, podcasts and videos replacing traditional reading modes.
Glibzter Digital Reading Alliance is an attempt to co-innovate solutions and build a systematic process of learning into such 'immersive' modes so as to help stem the 'Brain rot' - Oxford's Word of the Year 2024.
In short, we are looking to unlock the same benefits of reading a physical book in the digital mediums being preferred by internet users today.
Reading for English Vocabulary Enhancement
Reading is considered to be the mother of all skills.
Reading serves as an immersive mode for learning the contextual usage of vocabulary and lexical items (idioms and phrasal verbs)
The Glibzter Digital Reading Alliance is an attempt to benefit both publishers and consumers of online digital content by adding value to the reading experience through tech interventions.
Our product offering Glibzter Immersive - English Vocabulary Builder is a web browser extension that curates English words and phrases for contextual practice and assessments, while you read online news articles and stream videos with English subtitles.
More innovative solutions are being worked on and will be introduced to measure reading outcomes.
