Bilingual Android guide for unfamiliar apps
10 followers
Stepli is a bilingual Android accessibility companion that guides people through unfamiliar apps without taking control. Unlike automation tools, it teaches users with calm, step-by-step overlays, voice guidance, and visual highlights while they interact themselves. It supports English and Urdu, includes built-in guides for everyday apps, and lets the community create and share new guides for others.
One thing that would really help is adding a way for users to slow down or replay a specific step in the overlay, because sometimes the voice finishes before I can follow along on a new app.
@mervescha Thank you, That's a great suggestion. Giving users the ability to pause, replay, or slow down individual steps would make the experience much more comfortable, especially for people learning something new. I'll add this to my roadmap. I really appreciate the feedback!
Honestly the bilingual thing is what caught me, since urdu support is rare. Tried it walking through a banking app and the calm overlays actually felt helpful instead of overwhelming.
@birsen954572377 Thank you so much, It means a lot to hear that the bilingual support stood out to you. One of my goals with Stepli is to make learning new apps feel less overwhelming while keeping users in control, so I'm really happy that message came across. Thanks for your encouragement! ❤️
The Urdu voice guidance is a really thoughtful touch, and the overlay approach feels way more respectful than just automating everything for someone. Tried it on a banking app guide and the highlight cues actually made it click for me.
@yaseminoayu Thank you so much, I'm really glad the bilingual support and the overlay-first approach resonated with you. Keeping users in control instead of automating actions was a core design decision from the beginning. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! 😊
It would be great if Stepli could let family members remotely trigger a guide on a loved one's phone, especially for elderly users who might struggle even with overlays. A simple "send help" button that pushes the right guide straight to their screen would be a lifesaver.
@birolt5jw Thank you, I really like this idea. A secure way for a family member to send the right guide to a loved one's phone is something I've thought about, and your suggestion reinforces how valuable that could be. I'll definitely keep it in mind as I continue developing Stepli. Thanks for sharing it!
The voice guidance in Urdu is a really thoughtful touch, especially for older family members who struggle with new apps. The overlay highlighting kept me in control instead of feeling like the app was hijacking my phone, which is exactly what accessibility should feel like.
@lyasl9qo Thank you, I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Keeping users in control while providing gentle guidance has always been one of the core principles behind Stepli, so I'm glad that resonated with you. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts!
