Yomi

Yomi is an engaging educational app designed for children aged 5 to 9, featuring a charming little cat that encourages kids to read aloud. As children read stories—available at three different difficulty levels—Yomi’s speech recognition technology listens in, rewarding kids with food for the virtual cat when they read correctly. The app also offers a fun, simple wizard for creating and reading custom stories, fostering creativity and confidence in young readers. Unique in its approach, Yomi emphasizes a stress-free experience by avoiding streaks, ads, accounts, or data collection, making it a safe space for kids to practice reading at their own pace. Available in English and Finnish on iOS, it provides a motivating reason for children to practice reading without the pressure of traditional educational tools.
