Coolphabets is a mobile app that teaches kids and adults to read and write in their mother tongue, starting with Indian languages. It uses on-device AI models (CoolphaSense) for instant handwriting feedback, works fully offline, and is designed for privacy and COPPA compliance. The project targets second-generation immigrant families who speak the language at home but lack literacy in its script.

Target audience: parents and educators of multilingual children, language learners, and cultural preservation advocates
