Genre: Education
Release Date: September 3, 2014

It's an irrefutable fact that learning English has become a priority for all kinds of people, all over the world. Today, more than 2 billion of us are trying to acquire and develop the language. We are students of all ages, come from all kinds of backgrounds and we each have our own goals and ambitions for a future with English. To this end, Voscreen has been developed in order to accelerate the learning process of learners worldwide, to uncover the world of English to anyone, anywhere at any time.

Voscreen is a highly innovative way to help learners improve their English language skills on their own, without the express need for outside instruction. Moreover, it can also provide teachers the tools needed to develop their students' language skills in an engaging, interactive and challenging way.

Voscreen is based on its own learning method and approach developed through meticulous research on the native language learning process and environmental language acquisition.

A toddler is able to independently acquire the essential language skills to communicate in their own mother tongue, thanks to all kinds of language exposure available while growing up. Voscreen users can experience a similar kind of language acquisition, as they are systematically exposed to English. Short clips, each grounded in easy to understand, real life contexts with concrete meaning, surround the learner with English. All the learner has to do to achieve the goal of becoming proficient in English is to spend 20 to 40 minutes using Voscreen every day to ensure constant exposure.

Following years of research focused on the language learning process, the Voscreen team has developed the Artificial Linguistic Intelligence for Visual Education system, which we refer to as ALIVE. ALIVE functions as an 'AI Teacher' that enables each learner to receive the appropriate language input at the right time and complete the required repetition cycles to master English. Through this system, and by utilizing a huge database of content, ALIVE adapts to each individual learner and custom tailors the program to their own needs.

In order not to misguide the ‘AI Teacher’, Voscreen users are highly advised to answer a 'Vo-Question' only if they are absolutely sure they fully comprehend the content.

We welcome you to join one of the fastest growing communities online today and to learn, improve and live English side by side with voScreeners everywhere.

Engaging, authentic, rich and free…

Life itself…

NEW IN STAR WALK 2

All-new stunning design:

– Layer by layer planets and missions

*Available through In-App Purchase. Constellations are available for free for limited time.

Universal app that works on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

DISCOVER NEW DEPTHS
Star Walk 2 is the first astronomy guide to introduce plausible three-dimensional models of planetary nebulae. Star groupings of the 88 officially recognized constellations are also presented in volume. You can see them as separate entities, turn them around and take a look from the other side. Complemented by articles on connected myths and history, this is the most comprehensive collection of information on constellations.*

REAL-TIME MOTION TRACKING
As you hold your phone up and point it towards the sky, Star Walk 2 follows your motions using the built-in gyroscope to match the map on your screen to the stars seen from your location. Easily find any star, constellation, or satellite in the sky by tapping Search. Star Walk will indicate the direction to look in.

NEW POINT OF VIEW
Unlike on a plain photograph, every star in Star Walk 2 has coordinates. That means you can look at objects, for instance, a constellation from any vantage point in space, not to mention the ultimate accuracy of your map for your exact location.

NOW AND LATER
Star Walk 2 gives you accurate daily data on current moon phase, time of sunset and sunrise, and elevation of planets. With just one slide you can see how the sky will look later tonight or throughout the year.

PRO STARGAZING
Special night-time soft red mode will help you preserve night vision when stargazing with a telescope. You can see the sky in X-Ray (and 5 more filters) to study the invisible structure of the universe. Live tracking for over 8,000 satellites will help you catch iridium flares, and detailed articles will satisfy the most curious inquirer.
