Parent Helper

A gentle phone helper for a parent who doesn't read English.

一款为看不懂英文的父母打造的贴心手机助手。

What it does

Parent Helper is an iPhone app for a parent who does not read English and finds phones hard to use. Everything on the screen is turned into Simplified Chinese and read aloud, so nothing needs to be read in English and there are no confusing menus to hunt through.

The main things it helps with
  • Read email. It shows email from the last 30 days in a simple list. Open one and the app explains what it's about in a short Chinese sentence and reads it aloud. You can also point at one part of the screen and have just that part translated.
  • Understand a bill or website. When an email links to a company or government website, the app opens it and explains, in Chinese, what the page is about and what you can do on it.
  • Big, simple buttons. The home screen is a grid of large picture buttons. Each button does one clear task. There is nothing to type and nothing to figure out.

Your privacy comes first

Your personal information — your emails and bills — stays on your phone. The app understands and translates everything on the device itself using Apple's built-in intelligence. It is not sent to any outside AI service and is not shared with anyone. The only thing the phone connects to is your own email account.

这个应用做什么

Parent Helper 是一款 iPhone 应用,专为看不懂英文、又觉得手机难用的父母而做。 屏幕上的所有内容都会被翻译成简体中文朗读出来, 不需要看懂英文,也不用在复杂的菜单里到处找。

它主要能帮什么忙
  • 读邮件。它会把最近 30 天的邮件用简单的列表显示出来。 打开一封邮件,应用会用一句简短的中文说明这封邮件是关于什么的,并朗读给您听。 您也可以指着屏幕上的某一部分,只翻译那一部分。
  • 看懂账单或网站。当邮件里有一个指向公司或政府网站的链接时, 应用会打开它,并用中文说明这个网页是关于什么的、您可以在上面做什么。
  • 又大又简单的按钮。主页是一格一格的大图标按钮, 每个按钮只做一件清楚的事。不用打字,也不用去琢磨。

您的隐私最重要

您的个人信息——您的邮件和账单——都留在您自己的手机上。 应用使用苹果内置的智能功能,在手机本机上完成理解和翻译。 这些内容不会发送给任何外部的 AI 服务, 也不会分享给任何人。手机唯一连接的,只有您自己的邮箱账户。
