Build Small Hackathon concept
A tiny model reader that turns articles into guided narration
Tiny Narrator is an accessibility-first article experience. It can describe generated images, build a reading path, and speak each part of the page with a lightweight local voice.
Why it belongs in a tiny-model hackathon
Accessibility tools should feel immediate, private, and personal. Small models help because they can run closer to the reader, keep latency low, and make the experience easier to inspect.
The goal is not to read the whole page at the user. The goal is to make the page navigable by sound.
The model map
The reader brain runs through llama.cpp, the vision model writes practical alt text, Kokoro speaks the final narration, and a four-billion-parameter image model creates article illustrations.
