Speech Recognition, Purpose-Built for Reading Aloud

Speech recognition understands what you say. Auris understands how you read.

Multi-patented, award-winning and proven at scale, Auris technology goes beyond recognising words. It captures the nuances that matter when people read, generating meaningful, measurable insight from every session.


ASR built for reading aloud. Auris Tech has developed patented Automatic Speech Recognition technology purpose-built to understand people as they read aloud.

Unlike conventional speech recognition, our technology doesn't simply recognise words. It listens to how they are read, measuring accuracy, fluency, pronunciation, pace and hesitation in real time.

Built in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, our technology can listen to individual readers simultaneously and at scale, creating powerful reading intelligence without requiring one-to-one human assessment.


Powering Fonetti today. Built to transform reading technology worldwide.

Why Auris is hard to replicate

Our advantage isn't one feature. It's the combination of patented technology, proprietary data, proven application and real-world adoption.

Patented ASR built for reading

Purpose-built speech recognition that understands how someone reads, not simply what they say. Measuring accuracy, fluency, pronunciation, pace and hesitation in real time.

Proprietary reading
data

A unique and continually growing dataset built from hundreds of thousands of real reading sessions, helping us understand how children actually read across different ages, abilities, accents and backgrounds.

Proven technology in the real world

Our technology already powers Fonetti, where it is used by children, teachers and schools at scale, turning sophisticated reading intelligence into an engaging everyday experience.

Built for scale

One teacher can only listen to one child read at a time. Auris can listen to thousands simultaneously, individually and accurately, creating reading intelligence at a scale traditional assessment cannot achieve.

Our technology in action: Fonetti

Fonetti is where Auris technology comes to life.

Powered by our patented reading-aloud ASR, Fonetti acts as a Personal Reading Coach, listening as children read aloud, responding word by word and encouraging them as they build fluency, accuracy and confidence.

Behind the reading experience, the Fonetti School Portal turns every session into meaningful insight, giving teachers visibility of individual and group progress without having to listen to every child themselves.

Fonetti is more than our flagship product. It is real-world proof of what Auris technology can do at scale, and the foundation for where we take reading-aloud intelligence next.

Evidence and research

Our technology is grounded in research and strengthened by real-world evidence.

Auris technology has been developed in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, one of the world’s leading centres for speech and language technology research, and proven beyond our own platforms through partner deployments and real-world use.

Our latest research explores the state of children’s reading in the UK, the importance of reading aloud, and what we can learn from hundreds of thousands of reading sessions supported by our ASR technology.
