Problem Space:
- 7.8% of children between 3-17 years old experience some form of a learning disability.
- A growing gap between the advancement of digital educational tools and the quality of the user experience for students with learning disabilities
- An estimated 80% of learning disorders involve a reading impairment such as dyslexia.
- Unsupported learning disorders impact more than academic performance. It is associated with reduced mental health and unemployment in the long term.
Our project goal:
- Make reading more efficient and enjoyable for users with reading challenges, helping them acquire the same information in less time.
What’s our solution:
ReadAI is a chrome extension that estimates your reading time for a web page based on onboarding diagnostic test.
- no copy and paste or manual prompting required to generate text summaries.
- adjust depth of analysis with one button (1 min vs 5 min read)
Challenges we ran into:
- figuring out how to interact with the text on webpages and return the word count
- figuring out what tool to use to generate the text summaries
