Products like these will change the future of how learning and new skills will come out of Cambodia.
I just returned from Cambodia last week. I have been around the provinces with my Cambodian friend. What I came to know is many young people who are also smartphone users are not able to read or write Khmer, let alone English. The smartphone usage is mainly around using facebook, mostly to post pictures and watch videos. Though the internet infrastructure is good in Cambodia, it's underutilized.
What I wish to see is how localization and learning software powered by TTS/AI along with inexpensive hardware would inspire them to learn and acquire global outlook.
Wouldn't it be more practical to just teach them to read and write? The model for getting out of poverty is well established at this point and literacy is an essential component.
In fact I'd argue the stakes are pretty high because if we don't help these people become literate they'll end up little more than attention batteries plugged into Zuckerberg's Facebook Matrix.
