BookBox

BookBox, a social enterprise located in Pondicherry, India, created ‘AniBooks’, animated stories for children with the narration appearing on-screen as Same Language Subtitles (SLS).[2] Every word is highlighted in exact timing with the audio narration, thus strengthening reading skills, automatically and subconsciously.[3] BookBox has their videos on their YouTube channel,[4] with over 45 stories in 40 languages.[5] The business was born in 2004 from a student-driven competition, Social e-Challenge, at Stanford University.[6]
