About CanTone
​關於我們

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.

 

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 20 NGOs to co-organise different events.

​

In 2024, we are fortunate to receive continued support from the SIE Fund and matching funds from Oxfam to develop a new feature in CanTone app, “CanTone AI ChatLife.” This feature simulates real-life conversations in Cantonese, offering over 50 scenarios for practice, and is scheduled for official release by December 2024.

​

CanTone是一間於2023年成立的創新社會企業，專注於運用創新科技提供中文教育服務，旨在為香港多元文化社會搭建共融橋樑。CanTone在理工大學的好薈社種子基金計劃中成功脫穎而出，並於2023年4月1日開始獲得社會創新及創業發展基金資助，其後獨立成為一間社企。

 

CanTone的主要服務對象為少數族裔及非華語學童，我們致力於提供更多的學習支援和公平的學習機會，讓他們有機會學習廣東話，以滿足不同種族家庭的需求，並促進多元文化社區的融合。

​

我們已開發並推出了提供AI詞彙學習的CanTone App，於第一階段與全港各區多個服務少數族裔的NGO合作舉辦非華語中文學習活動，並獲得了正面和熱烈的反應。

​

2024年，CanTone有幸再次獲得社創基金以及樂施會配對資金支持，開發「CanTone AI陪我講」的新功能，模擬真人日常對話，有超過50個場景練習，預計於2024年12月正式推出。

​

我們的使命是創建一個全面且易用的學習平台，將學習廣東話的樂趣帶給更多的孩子，並計劃在未來持續增加新的學習資源和功能。我們的目標不僅是幫助這些孩子學習粵語，更希望透過教育的力量，打破貧困的惡性循環，讓他們有更多的機會改變自己的未來，實現他們的夢想。
