CanTone is a forward-thinking social venture established in 2023 that stands at the intersection of technology and education. Driven by a multilingual and dynamic team that not only has years of experience in education and software development, but also a shared vision of inclusivity and empowerment for ethnic minority (EM) children, our goal is to establish a comprehensive platform for ethnic minorities to learn Chinese, thereby enhancing their educational prospects and social integration.

AI Story Buddy, a solution developed by CanTone, applies AI technology to provide an interactive storybook reading function for EM children. It offers real-time pronunciation detection and immediate feedback, filling a crucial gap for interactive learning. By enabling learners to enjoy equal and quality education, we hope to break language barriers as well as improve social integration and quality of life for the EM community.

CanTone was awarded the SIE Seed Fund in 2023, which supports us to develop a Cantonese vocab learning app with AI functions and 4 EM languages, targeted at EM kindergarten children. We also collaborated with over 10 NGOs to co-organise different events, benefiting over 120 EM children, reaching approximately 800 EM users in total.
