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.

Could you build this?
Partial The timer, pacing, and reading-stats UI is easy to vibe-code. Reliably detecting words read, pauses, and page skips from a child's speech needs tuned speech recognition and alignment against the book text, which is harder than a generic transcript.
What it would actually take: The stack would be an on-device or cloud ASR model, with forced alignment of recognized speech against OCR'd or typed book text to track position and skips. The hard parts are child speech accuracy and robust fluency metrics. That needs speech/ML expertise and possibly reading-specialist input to validate the expression measures.
