VIDYA Copilot: feature summary

Available now (regular app)

• Typed questions about school topics.
• Voice input through the phone's listening tool (availability and internet need vary by phone).
• Spoken replies that can begin before the reply is finished; speed varies by phone.
• Stop control to end a spoken reply.
• Quiet mode ("Speak replies aloud" off).
• Reply language: Hindi, Marathi, English or match the question (quality varies; wrong language or mixed scripts possible).
• Reminder under each reply: "Answered from memory, not from your book — worth checking."
• Teacher profile saved on the phone.
• One question at a time; no conversation memory.

Built but turned off in the regular app

• Using textbook facts to write replies (topic finding was tested; adding facts did not improve replies enough).
• Suggested marks that check a typed student answer against a marking guide and show supporting words; not reliable enough yet.

Planned or still being worked on (no release dates)

• Better language and answer quality, especially Marathi.
• The app's own listening and speaking tools so voice does not depend on phone services.
• Suggested marks teachers can check, with the teacher deciding final marks.
• Reading handwritten answers, only when reliable without internet.
• Class study reports.
• More phone tests (low-cost phones) and screen-reader accessibility checks.

New screen design being tested

Greeting, class and subject choices, starter questions, a large microphone and clearer status messages. Tapping a starter question fills the box; nothing is sent until the teacher sends it. The installed version may show the regular or the new design.
