Changelog

New updates and improvements to Kharty.

SEN mode — gamification built for every learner

Kharty now adapts the learning experience automatically for students with Special Educational Needs. Enable one toggle in your class settings and every student plays in SEN mode — no individual configuration required. Developed in collaboration with English for Us.

  • New SEN landing page at kharty.com/en/sen — full overview of the SEN mode features and the English for Us partnership
  • SEN navigation item in the public header for instant discovery from any page
  • Accessible interactions — larger interactive elements, animated high-contrast borders, and an accessible color palette for students with visual or motor needs
  • Slow-diction repetition — when a student answers incorrectly, Kharty automatically repeats the correct concept with slower diction, twice, with no teacher action needed
  • One-click classroom setup — enable the SEN Accessible toggle in class settings and every student who joins plays automatically in SEN mode

Create and edit Khartys on the web

Author your own Kharty without leaving the browser. Drop an image, drag a label, draw text covers — or let auto-detect do it for you. Edit any Kharty you've created at any time.

  • Create Kharty — three-step flow with drag-and-drop image, click-to-place terms, and click-drag covers that match the image's background color
  • Auto-Detect Terms — Google Vision OCR finds labels in your image and creates a term and matching cover for each one
  • Edit Kharty — open any Kharty you've created and change its title, description, terms, or covers; save updates the original record
  • Keyboard shortcuts during authoring — Delete to remove the selected term or cover, Enter to confirm, Esc to cancel
  • Create Kharty pill in the top nav for one-click access from anywhere in the app
