StoryFox launches here on November 11. A child reads an ordinary paper book aloud, and Buk the fox listens: reading speed, expression, then a few questions about the story.
Early on we hit a wall. Most families will never type in or photograph the text of the book they're reading, so there's nothing to compare word by word. And skipping a page or two is the first trick a tired kid tries.
We found a way to spot skipped pages anyway, without the text and without AI guessing. It even gets better with every reading of the same edition.
Before I explain how: parents and teachers, how do you check at home that the reading actually happened?
StoryFox turns 15 minutes of reading aloud into a daily habit. Pick any paper book and a page range, tap Start, and read: the screen shows only a timer, no red marks. Afterwards StoryFox shows words per minute, expression (pauses at punctuation, steady pace) and whether pages were skipped, even without the book's text. Buk the fox asks a few questions, gives hints instead of answers, and can talk it through by voice. Parents get a report by Telegram, email or link.
