Developer sandeepssrin released a free, research-backed audio TTS tool to help parents and teachers teach kids to read, built as a birthday gift for his daughter.
- Philosophy: teachers/parents know how to teach but not what and when to teach
- It supercharges "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" with voice AI
- Core tech: continuous phonation (stretched-out phonemes and graphemes) on TTS, combined with spaced repetition
- He's inviting interested users to join the GitHub project
