Milpress: Empowering Adult Literacy Through Innovative Mobile Learning Solutions

In the UK, 9 million adults struggle with literacy skills below Level 2, with 5.1 million reading at levels below that of an 11-year-old. This isn't just a personal challenge—it's a societal issue costing the UK economy an estimated £37 billion annually. Yet traditional solutions often fall short, leaving millions without the dignity and privacy they deserve when seeking help.

A New Approach to Adult Learning

Milpress is revolutionising adult literacy education through a privacy-focused mobile application specifically designed for native English speakers from socially challenged backgrounds. Unlike childish apps that cause embarrassment, Milpress offers mature, real-world learning content that respects adult learners' autonomy and life experience.

What Makes Milpress Different?

Privacy by Design: Our discreet interface includes biometric login options and privacy-preserving features, allowing learners to study without fear of judgment or stigma.

Complete Offline Functionality: Understanding that digital exclusion is a barrier, Milpress works entirely without internet connection, making literacy education accessible to everyone.

Adult-Appropriate Content: Every lesson focuses on practical, immediately useful reading skills—from filling out forms to reading job applications—ensuring learning feels relevant and confidence-boosting.

Adaptive Learning Paths: Our assessment-based progression adapts to individual strengths and challenges, supporting multiple learning styles through text, speech, and interactive exercises.

Real Impact, Real Results

Milpress isn't just another educational app—it's a pathway to independence. By prioritising confidence-building and practical literacy, we help users gain the skills needed to navigate daily life with dignity and self-assurance.

Our structured learning framework guides users from foundation phonics through to functional literacy, targeting that crucial milestone of reading age 11 and beyond. With text-to-speech capabilities, speech recognition, and intuitive navigation, we ensure accessibility for diverse learning needs.

Building a More Literate Society

Through our hybrid business model, Milpress combines social impact with sustainability. For every paid institutional license, we provide free access to 100 individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. We're not just building an app—we're creating a movement toward a more literate, empowered society.

The challenge is significant, but so is our commitment. With Milpress, we're transforming how adults approach literacy learning, one dignified step at a time.
