Studycat unveils back-to-school resources for families using its children's English language app, supporting ages 2–8
'Our goal is to give families an easy start to the school year with tools that make learning English engaging, safe, and accessible for children everywhere.'— Owner
HK, HONG KONG, August 18, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Studycat today announced back-to-school resources designed to help families get a strong start with its children's English language iOS app for ages 2–8. Built on a play-based curriculum and voice-powered practice, the Learn English experience blends interactive games, stories, and songs with immediate feedback—within an ad-free, kid-safe environment tailored for young learners.
Learn English by Studycat is available on iOS and iPadOS with a free download and a 7‑day trial at https://studycat.com/products/english/.
Heading into the new term, Studycat is emphasizing three areas parents consistently request: simple onboarding in their native language, safe-by-design learning, and child-friendly speaking practice. The company now supports parental interfaces in 35 languages and offers on-device voice recognition through VoicePlay™.
What's new and valuable for back-to-school
- Parent language support: Settings, onboarding, and progress views support 35 languages to make setup and oversight easier worldwide. Lessons for children remain full-immersion English.
- VoicePlay™ speaking games: Real-time, on-device voice recognition invites kids to speak naturally in select games and get instant, kid-friendly feedback—no voice data uploaded or stored.
- Kid-safe, ad-free design: Content and controls are designed for young users and parental peace of mind.
- Play-based, short sessions: Bite-sized activities, characters, and songs help children build listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in developmentally appropriate steps.
- Try before subscribing: Families can start with a free download and a 7-day free trial to explore topics and gameplay before committing.
Back-to-school is a high-intent moment for families establishing routines. Studycat's approach reduces friction: a free trial to explore, localization for more straightforward parental setup, and structured, playful practice that fits into short daily blocks. For early learners (2–8), the right mix of repetition, feedback, and confidence-building is essential; Studycat's content is aligned with those early developmental needs while keeping the environment ad-free and distraction-free.
Voice-first practice designed for children
Most voice tools are trained on adult speech. VoicePlay™ is different: it's designed for young voices and runs on the device, offering immediate feedback without sending recordings to the cloud. In select games, children use their voices to progress—seeing friendly visual cues that highlight sounds to practice and reinforce. This approach makes speaking out loud a natural part of learning, helping kids connect sound, meaning, and confidence.

US tariffs on Chinese graphite spark opportunity for India's Epsilon
By Aditi Shah NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India's Epsilon Advanced Materials is moving swiftly to close deals to supply critical components to Japanese and South Korean battery makers in the U.S., a top executive said, after Washington imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports. The U.S. in July imposed a punitive 93.5% tariff on import of graphite anode materials from China, creating an opportunity for India's Epsilon to break Beijing's monopoly on supplies of the key battery component. Indeed, U.S.-based battery makers are eager to secure alternative suppliers as the higher levies disrupt supply chains and stoke uncertainty, including over future price rises. Vikram Handa, managing director of Epsilon, which makes graphite anode materials for EV batteries, expressed confidence over some new supply deals. "Last month, they were saying let's wait and see how things go. Now we think in the next 60 to 80 days, we will close our contracts," said Handa. Epsilon, which announced plans for a $650 million factory in North Caroline in October 2023, has been working on getting permits and environmental clearances, while waiting for firm orders before putting a shovel in the ground. "The numbers now start making sense for customers to buy from the U.S.," said Handa, adding that the plant, which will have capacity of 30,000 tonnes of anode materials, is expected to be up and running by mid-2027. An EV battery is made up of four components - anode, cathode, electrolyser and separator. The anode contributes to fast-charging and vehicle range. The U.S. needs 500,000 tonnes of anode materials a year for its EV and energy storage battery needs, which were met largely by China, which refines over 90% of the world's graphite into the material used in almost all EV battery anodes. Mumbai-based Epsilon also has plans to invest over $1.1 billion in a 100,000-tonne anode materials facility in India's Karnataka state, but has yet to see serious interest in India. Handa said low Chinese prices were a draw for Indian companies, but he was trying to persuade them to buy at least 20% from Epsilon, so that "if China closes the tap," they had an alternative supplier. "If it is zero (demand for Epsilon's anodes) right now, how will I put up a plant?" he asked. "I hope this rare earth story doesn't play out the same way for battery materials," given Indian companies dependence on them, he said.

Estee Lauder falls sharply after cutting profit outlook on weak demand, tariffs
-- Estee Lauder (NYSE:EL) saw its shares tumble over 10% on Wednesday after the cosmetics giant forecast annual profit below Wall Street expectations on Wednesday, citing ongoing weakness in demand in the U.S. and China as well as tariff uncertainty. The company said it expects about $100 million in profitability headwinds in fiscal 2026, even after mitigation efforts. "The company continues to closely monitor evolving trade policies and enacted tariffs, and its task force has been actively evaluating developments and mitigation strategies to reduce the potential impacts of tariffs," Estee said in the release. Estee Lauder guided full-year adjusted earnings per share in a range of $1.90 to $2.10, short of analysts' forecast of $2.21, according to LSEG data. Organic net sales are expected to grow between 0% and 3% this year. For its fiscal fourth quarter, Estée Lauder posted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.09, a penny ahead of estimates. Revenue was $3.41 billion, slightly above the $3.39 billion consensus. Organic net sales decreased 13%, led by weakness in Skin Care and Makeup. Net sales fell across all geographic regions, led by declines in the company's global travel retail business and North America, the company said. 'Despite continued volatility in the external environment, we embarked on fiscal 2026 with signs of momentum and confidence in our outlook to deliver organic sales growth this year after three years of declines and to begin rebuilding operating profitability in pursuit of a solid double-digit adjusted operating margin over the next few years," said Stephane de La Faverie, President and CEO of Estee Lauder. By segment, Skin Care sales declined 17% in the fourth quarter, driven by lower demand for Estée Lauder and La Mer. Makeup revenue dropped 12%, Hair Care fell 15%, while Fragrance rose 2%.

Grant Demaree wants to make military staff "superhuman"
Speed matters. Just ask Grant Demaree, the chief executive at Onebrief. "We succeed by making military staffs superhuman — faster, smart and more efficient," he told Axios in an interview. "Staffs with Onebrief can get their work done a bit over three times as fast as those without," he said. "I think we can enable over 100 times in the coming years." Why he matters: Demaree is a former U.S. Army officer. Plus, his company's military workflow-and-planning software is used around the world. Q: When you hear "future of defense," what comes to mind? A: Decentralized execution — lots of autonomy for each echelon, combatant command down to small unit — has worked well for a long time. I think this will keep working for two to four more years. Q: When will wars be waged solely by robots? A: Can be? 2036. Will be? Maybe never. Drones are improving rapidly across air, ground, surface and subsurface. It's easy to imagine a war by 2029 where most shooting is done by drones. I think military headquarters will be mostly automated by 2029 as well. As will a lot of cyber warfare. The hard part is executing functions that still need hands, like sustainment or manning legacy naval vessels. Humanoid robots unlock that. I expect a balance of power in 2036 so lopsided there's not much incentive for large-scale war. I'm more interested in the limited autonomy that dominates the much more dangerous late 2020s. Q: What region of the world should we be watching? Why? A: Asia-Pacific. The China hawks in Congress have it right. The last 75 years have been the best in the history of the world, because the U.S. was a mostly benign hegemon. A multipolar or China-dominated world won't be so nice. It's not just that our biggest threat is in the region. Our interests are there, too: semiconductor production in Taiwan and the bulk of global trade. Most senior officials believe the Pacific is the priority, but they only weight the Pacific about 30% above other theaters. They should weight it 10 times the others and be willing to sacrifice readiness elsewhere to achieve deterrence where it matters most. Q: What time do you wake up? What's the morning routine look like? A: I wake up around 5am. I'm very energized in the morning. I go to bed at 9pm and don't perform so well at night. Workout first. Then a bit of quiet, focused work. Q: What are you currently reading, or what's a book you'd recommend? A: Jen Pahlka, who blogs at Eating Policy, has the best mental model I've seen for understanding government customers. Culture eats policy. Civil service culture decides how policy gets implemented. Culture is who gets hired plus what incentives they face.
