MyLang Books – A Mobile Platform for Regional eBooks and Audiobooks

Client Overview

MyLang Books is a ground-breaking mobile app offering a vast collection of regional eBooks and audiobooks, giving users access to content in their preferred local languages. As a first-of-its-kind platform, MyLang Books required a robust, secure, and user-friendly solution to support its extensive digital library, DRM protection, and localization features.

Challenge

MyLang Books sought to create a secure, versatile app that could deliver an exceptional reading and listening experience across Android and iOS. The primary challenges included:

  1. Secure Content Management : Implement DRM (Digital Rights Management) to protect copyrighted materials.
  2. Language Localization : Ensure the app is fully localized to offer a seamless experience across different regional languages.
  3. Content Completion Tracking :Implement a feature to track and display the user’s reading or listening progress.
  4. Adapt Open Source Technology: Customize an open-source digital publication platform, requiring significant modifications to meet the app’s unique needs, including re-implementing encryption/decryption strategies.

Solution

  1. DRM-Protected Content Management
    • We implemented a secure DRM system to manage eBook and audiobook content. This protection prevents unauthorized copying, ensuring publishers retain control over their materials while allowing users to access content they’ve purchased.
    • This DRM solution was integrated across both Android and iOS apps to maintain consistent security across platforms.
  2. Native Android and iOS App Development
    • We developed native apps for both Android and iOS, optimizing for performance and user experience. This approach enabled each app to leverage platform-specific features and deliver a responsive interface.
  3. Reimplementation of Encryption and Decryption Strategies
    • Modifying the open-source digital publication platform, we developed a custom encryption and decryption strategy, significantly enhancing content security.
    • This reimplementation involved in-depth changes to the platform’s codebase to ensure that eBooks and audiobooks could be securely encrypted, decrypted, and delivered in a user-friendly format.
  4. Language Localization
    • We fully localized the app for multiple regional languages, ensuring users can enjoy content and interface text in their preferred language. Localization covered everything from the user interface to in-app instructions and notifications, creating an immersive experience.
    • This feature has made MyLang Books accessible to a diverse user base, catering to readers and listeners of different linguistic backgrounds.
  5. Audiobook Foreground Service
    • For a seamless audiobook experience, we implemented a foreground service that ensures playback continues uninterrupted, even if the app is minimized or runs in the background.
    • This service enhanced user experience by allowing users to listen to audiobooks while multitasking, an essential feature for audiobook enthusiasts.
  6. Reading Completion Tracking
    • To improve user engagement, we developed a completion tracking feature that shows the percentage of an eBook or audiobook that a user has completed.
    • This feature allows users to pick up where they left off and monitor their progress, promoting a more interactive and personalized reading experience.

  • Enhanced User Engagement and Retention
  • Positive Feedback on Audiobook Experience
  • Secure and Reliable Content Management
  • Growth in Regional User Base
