About Kiki
Kiki is the fever-dream brainchild of Thomas and Jessica. We yearned for a pleasant platform to relay information through a hacked Kindle, and a way to remedy a perceived paucity of doggerel in our lives.
Named after Miyazaki’s Kiki’s Delivery Service, we hope that your Kiki device will bring you lots of joy as a fun platform for family and friends to send cheerful rhymes.
Kiki’s lexicon is built from Carnegie-Mellon University’s Pronunciation Dictionary (CMUdict). She understands the phonetics of over 134,000 words using standard North American phonemes. The rhyme detection is based on the Dandelion library.
