Speech recognition built for reading aloud. At scale.
Auris Tech builds the multi-patented engine that listens as people read aloud, measuring accuracy, fluency, pronunciation and hesitation in real time, and does it efficiently enough to run at the scale of a whole school system. Today it powers Fonetti, our flagship reading platform, proving every day what reading-aloud intelligence can do.
One engine, every kind of reading aloud
Most speech recognition is built to understand commands or dictation. Ours is built for the way people actually read written text aloud, and it listens for what matters in reading: not just the words, but the accuracy, the fluency, the pronunciation and the hesitation behind them.
It follows a reader word by word across whole passages, responds instantly, and can listen to an entire classroom at once, individually and accurately. And because it is engineered to run efficiently at scale, reading-aloud intelligence becomes affordable to deliver to every learner, not just a few.
Why we're hard to replicate
Our advantage isn't one feature. It's a rare combination, in a single platform:
Patented reading-aloud ASR
Trained specifically for reading aloud, measuring how a learner reads, not only what they read.
A proprietary reading
dataset.
Hundreds of thousands of real reading sessions from tens of thousands of children, gathered ethically and with consent through the National Read-Aloud Challenge.
An engagement-driven
platform
Gamification, rewards and progress tracking that build a reading habit, not just diagnose a problem.
The trust of schools
A growing network of teachers and schools who already read with us every day.
Why now?
Around 27% of children still leave primary school without the reading proficiency expected of them, a figure that has barely moved in fifteen years. Speech technology has only just become good enough to analyse reading aloud in real time, and most of the field is crowding into assessment and tutoring. The daily work of reading engagement and fluency, where confidence is actually built, is the gap. It's the gap we were built to close.
Our technology in action: Fonetti
Fonetti is where our engine proves itself every day. The AI-powered Personal Reading Coach listens as children read aloud, celebrates the words they get right, encourages every step of progress, and gives teachers real-time insight through the Fonetti School Portal. It is the clearest demonstration of what reading-aloud ASR can do, and the foundation for everything we build next.
Beyond Fonetti: partnering on what's next
Fonetti is the first place our engine proves itself, but it won't be the last. We're already exploring how publishers, EdTech platforms and content providers could bring reading-specific speech analytics into their own products, technology that would take years to build alone.
This isn't something we offer off the shelf yet. But if you have the content or the reach and share our ambition, we'd welcome an early conversation.
Proven impact
Our technology isn't just powerful, it's proven.
Evidence and research
We build on research, and we publish what we learn. Our work is developed in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, one of the world's leading centres for speech technology research, and our engine has been proven beyond our own platform through partner deployments.
Our latest report explores the state of UK children's reading, the impact of read-aloud practice, and real-world results from hundreds of thousands of ASR-supported sessions.
