Cédric 
Cédric is a 10-year-old boy who just moved from France to Dubai. He only speaks French and goes to an international school where the common language is English. He is eager to learn. His teacher wants him to participate with the rest of the class as much as possible.

This is why Cédric uses Alinea by Lexima when studying for history and geography. Alinea reads text aloud and Cédric now hears the right pronunciation of words. He can also look up difficult words within the many dictionaries found in Alinea including a picture dictionary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sara
Sara is an 11-year-old girl who only speaks Arabic. She goes to an international school, so she has had to learn English. Although Sara likes school, her teacher has noticed she is making a lot of mistakes while writing. Although she has learned to write in Arabic, she is finding it difficult to learn a different alphabet. Unfortunately, Sara has become very insecure because of this. Her teacher wants to help Sara via using Alinea by Lexima.

With the help of Alinea Sara now works with customized speech-to-text functionality, word prediction and other product features that support composition, homophones and verbs. As a result, Sara is now much more confident and happier at school!
