Abstract: The current educational system changed to use the digital learning system due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation. There is a huge
need for the Digital Learning platforms that could use by the students and kids for the educational purpose. The currently available digital
learning platforms needs to enhance, ensure the safety for kids, and can provide variety of services for the kids using the newly available
technologies like Text to speech (TTS), Machine Learning (ML), Image Processing, and Web scraping Technologies. The research paper is
proposing a new system that could help to the kids to the learn the things very easily via watching the videos that is generated automatically

Confusion Matrix
Confusion matrix is a popular measure for classification
problems.Confusion matrix visualize the performance of a
classification matrix.It represent the counts from predicted
and actual values.This figure shows the formula which uses

be deceptive when applied to unbal- anced data sets,
alternative metrics based on confusion matrix are also
relevant for assessing performance. The reached accuracy was,
