(hooked on) Phonex
My 3-year old has shown interest in learning how to read, but all of the phonics-based apps we've tried are cumbersome, rigid, and require an adult to use effectively.
Core trick
Speech-to-text grades spoken phonemes while a state machine tracks reading progress through phonics lessons in a Realtime voice session.
Description
My 3-year old has shown interest in learning how to read, but all of the phonics-based apps we've tried are cumbersome, rigid, and require an adult to use effectively.
So I built Phonex, an app to help 3-7 year-olds learn how to read.
It was build for the hackathon entirely with Codex and uses a combination of OpenAI's Realtime API, speech-to-text (for "grading" phonemes), and text-to-speech (for generating phonemes/words), plus a formal state machine to control and track progress.
