Hi everyone :) I am Elizabeth, co-founder and CXO at Ello. We are so glad to launch Ello on Product Hunt. Ello was partially inspired by my daughter, Lili, who was struggling to learn to read via Zoom while out of school during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am a clinical child psychologist who specializes in child development and child behavior and have worked with children and families for over 15 years in community settings, schools, clinics, and hospitals with a specific focus on language and cognitive development. Ello is solving one of education's largest issues, childhood illiteracy, by scaling 1:1 instruction to maximize the learning potential of all children. Our first product is the Ello reading, powered by proprietary speech recognition and generative AI. It listens, understands, and engages with children to teach them critical reading skills. Thanks for checking us out!

Hi Product Hunt community! I’m Tom Sayer, the CEO and co-founder of Ello alongside Catalin Voss and Dr. Elizabeth Adams. We’re thrilled to introduce Ello, born from our shared vision of harnessing AI to make the world better for children. Our mission is simple: making high-quality education accessible to every child. Our first product, Read with Ello, is a cutting-edge AI reading coach that uses proprietary speech technology to help young readers develop critical skills. We envision Ello as a gateway to unlocking every child’s potential by democratizing learning irrespective of resources. Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey!

Hey there Product Hunt! Excited to be joining this community to share Ello with y'all. We're on a path to eradicate child literacy (!) by building an AI reading tutor. I'm Ello's CTO and I dropped out of the Stanford PhD program in AI to build Ello with Tom and Elizabeth. Fundamentally, we believe that the AI toolset to replicate human learning experiences at scale has come together. We built the world's best child speech recognition system (it beats Whisper and anything else out there on child speech) and see that as the key unlock in being able to build these types of tutoring experiences. Ello listens, motivates, and coaches young kids as they read. We are determined to make high-quality education accessible to every child. Thanks for checking us out and get ready for some exciting updates in 2024!

This is soooo cool!! Such a great way to get children more engaged. Could you explain more on how Ello helps the child get unstuck/misreads on words? <--- I think this would be super dope for learning new languages too!
