ReadMyBook

An AI-based app with text recognition that reads a children's book aloud. Developed as a complement to a children's book by a private friend, the goal is to let children — especially those with busy parents — independently have a book read to them by scanning a page.

By scanning designated stickers, users can choose between three reading modes. Page recognition uses the text-recognition feature of Android's ML Kit; users can also navigate to the right page with button controls.

Designs of the buttons and graphics were created by Klarissa Okfen.

Three reading modes

ReadMyBook mode 1: the audio recorded by the author is played — 1. The audio recorded by the author is played.

ReadMyBook mode 2: the audio recorded by the parents is played — 2. The audio recorded by the parents is played.

ReadMyBook mode 3: the author's audio with audio description, including image descriptions — 3. The author's audio, with audio description (including image descriptions), is played.

Parents can record their own audio and set page transitions, so reading starts from the correct page. Besides recognizing the correct page through text recognition, users can also navigate with button controls.
