Education Use Cases
We voice-enable learning tools that support better student outcomes.
Foundational reading, oral reading fluency, screening, spelling and vocabulary. Voice-enabled reading tools give teachers more time for instruction and make learning to read more engaging and effective for students.
Built in the service of teachers and students, our voice technology understands and returns feedback and insights on students’ speech down to the phoneme level.
Use Cases
Early literacy
Our voice engine supports foundational language and literacy development, from phonological and phonemic awareness to blending and decoding, letter sounds, words, and short sentences.
Oral reading fluency
Our voice engine supports children at every stage of the reading fluency journey, from phonics to oral reading fluency and comprehension. It accurately assesses pronunciation, prosody, and words correct per minute (WCPM), and returns insights to teachers on reading errors such as insertions, deletions, substitutions and hesitations.
English language learning
Emergent bilingual students use learning tools powered by our equity-centered voice engine to do pronunciation assessments and practice, and to build their conversation fluency and comprehension.
Math and science
From counting and word math to speedy times tables and multiple choice science questions, our voice engine powers tools that help students to stay engaged and build their confidence around mathematical concepts from a young age.
Diagnostics and screeners
Our voice engine powers phonemic awareness and rapid automatized naming (RAN) screening activities. This use case is particularly compelling in the early stages of literacy when screening can identify students in need of early intervention.
Measurable insights
through voice data
Engaging students in learning
In a voice-enabled educational game a student can be given real-time feedback on how they pronounced a word, phrase, or sentence.
Guiding teachers’ instruction
Teachers receive rich, granular and real-time data on a student’s reading progress to support instruction and flag where early interventions may be needed.
