Bilingual Android guide for unfamiliar apps

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
