Reading Helper

Pitch

To help young or challenged readers, reading helper can use open source text to speech and speech to text engines to help readers by reading a sentence for them, and then have the learner read aloud and using speech to text, checks if they read their sentence correctly.

Summary of features

• Upload custom text for users to read
• Read a whole sentence or a word at a time if highlighted by the mouse.
• Collate missed words with definitions for readers to review
• Multiple language support (if able)

Possible Architectures

• Local software that uses multiple processes/thread to ensure fast performance
• Website based
• Browser extension based
