The Short Version
Read-Along AI is an offline-capable reading practice app for early readers, built for the Hugging Face Build Small Hackathon.
The app shows one short sentence at a time, lets a child tap individual words for help, records a read-aloud attempt, and gives gentle feedback. Clean readings pass immediately. Close or ambiguous transcripts get a second look from a fine-tuned MiniCPM phonetic evaluator. Meaning-changing mistakes still fail closed.
