Overview
HiKid is a free, open-source desktop app that helps children in non-English-speaking countries practice English speaking and listening. The child talks into the microphone and an AI companion answers in English, tells stories and plays word games. Recording, speech recognition, speech synthesis and the language model all run on the local machine, so nothing is uploaded to the cloud. It is built with Electron, React and TypeScript.
Key features
- Voice-first chat, so children speak instead of typing
- Runs offline through a local recording, recognition, synthesis and LLM pipeline
- Conversations, voice and models stay on the device
- Cartoon-style interface aimed at kids
- Stories and word games alongside free conversation
Best for
Parents and teachers who want a private speaking practice tool for children. It currently runs on macOS only, and the extra dependencies such as SoX, ASR and TTS servers must be installed separately.
