Questions to ask before you try it.

It is an Android assistant for teachers' questions about school topics. You can ask by typing or voice, then read the reply or hear it aloud.

The teacher app is currently called VIDYA Shikshak. This website calls the same product VIDYA Copilot. You may still see Shikshak when you open the app.

No. This website is for the teacher app. VIDYA AI is a separate app for students. The student app looks in the books available to it. The regular teacher app uses what its AI has learned and does not search your textbook.

It is for Indian school teachers, especially those teaching Classes 6–8, and schools interested in trying it with teachers. Check the exact topics you need first.

Not in the regular teacher app. The feature that uses textbook facts is turned off. Replies use what the AI has learned, and the app reminds you to check them.

Yes. You can choose Hindi, Marathi or English. “Match the question” asks the app to reply in the language of your question. It may still use the wrong language or give an unclear reply. Marathi needs more work.

The app writes answers on the phone and cannot connect to internet itself. Voice uses the phone's separate tools. They may need internet, depending on the phone and its language files.

That depends on your phone and the language files saved on it. Try voice with internet turned off before relying on it.

Yes. Turn “Speak replies aloud” off for quiet reading.

Yes. Use the stop control while the reply is speaking.

It treats each question as a new one. Add the details it needs each time, even if you already mentioned them earlier.

No. Replies can be incorrect, unclear or hard to make sense of. Review important content against your textbooks and teaching notes before classroom use.

Not always. In one test, with the app ready to answer, speech began about 434 milliseconds after the question was sent. Other phones and questions may take longer. This did not include the time taken to listen to the question.

The marking tool has been built for testing, but it is turned off in the regular app. It is not reliable enough yet, so you cannot use it for everyday marking.

Not yet. Tests of reading handwritten papers without internet were not good enough, so this feature is not available.

The tool being developed is intended to provide suggestions, with the teacher making the final decision. That workflow is turned off in the regular app today.

A ready-to-use page showing class study reports is not available in the current app. These reports are planned for the future.

We cannot promise that yet. Testing on low-cost phones is not complete. Check the phone you plan to use.

An iPhone version is not confirmed in the supplied information. The current app is for Android.

The supplied file does not confirm that teacher use is free. Prices have not been announced. Ask how to get the app and whether any charges apply.

It is not yet on the Play Store. Contact us about setup and whether the current version can help with the topics you teach.

Yes, you can ask about a small trial. We first need to discuss the topics, phones and how teachers will check the replies. A trial may not be available straight away.
