About JOSY - Books for Every Child
Josy is not an ordinary reading app. Josy was specifically designed for people with cognitive disabilities - lovingly crafted, accessible, and with the goal of making the joy of reading available to everyone. Even the littlest ones love the clear images and simple stories. THREE DIFFICULTY LEVELS Every book offers three carefully graded difficulty levels: • Discover - Large, clear images with single words. Perfect for exploring and for the very first encounter with stories. • Understand - Short, simple sentences for each image. Ideal for beginning readers and people who prefer easy language. • Stories - Complete stories with more text. For reading on your own or having them read aloud. PROFESSIONALLY NARRATED All texts are read aloud by professional voice actors - in multiple languages. This way, even children who cannot yet read can enjoy the stories. The narration feature supports language development and makes books accessible to everyone. FULLY OFFLINE Josy works completely without an internet connection. All books, images, and audio files are included in the app. Perfect for on the go, in waiting rooms, or wherever Wi-Fi is not available. FREE, AD-FREE, NO TRACKING Josy is completely free and contains no advertising whatsoever. No data is collected and no tracking is used. The app was developed by volunteers with great passion - from the belief that accessibility should not be a luxury. WHO IS JOSY FOR? • Children and adults with cognitive disabilities • Babies and toddlers • Families who value accessible media • Educational institutions and special needs schools • Everyone who loves beautiful stories MADE WITH LOVE Behind Josy is a volunteer project that aims to advance inclusion in the digital space. Every book is carefully designed and illustrated - with the ambition that truly all children have access to great stories. We welcome feedback and suggestions: [email protected]
