How ASR Can Transform Children’s Reading Aloud & Literacy
Discover how purpose-built Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) can support children’s reading aloud, build fluency and confidence, and give teachers valuable insight into reading progress.
ASR for Children’s Reading: Why It Matters More Than Ever
Discover why Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is more relevant than ever for children’s reading, and how reading aloud with voice technology can build confidence, enjoyment and literacy.
Why Reading Volume Matters for Children’s Reading Progress
Why does children’s reading progress stall? Explore how reading volume, regular practice and “reading miles” build fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
Reading Aloud vs Silent Reading: How ASR Improves Literacy
Discover how reading aloud with Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) can improve children’s fluency, pronunciation, confidence and comprehension compared with silent reading.
How ASR Inspired Us to Reimagine Children’s Literacy
What happens when a background in politics, a career in speech recognition engineering, and a shared concern about UK literacy rates collide? This blog goes behind the scenes of Auris Tech's white paper on reading aloud using Automatic Speech Recognition, with researchers Dylan Bolton and Electra Wallington reflecting on why they took on the project, what the data revealed, and why building EdTech responsibly means bringing in voices well beyond engineering.
Why Auris Tech Commissioned its White Paper on ASR
Over a quarter of children leave primary school without reaching the expected reading standard, and reading scores have stagnated in international studies for 25 years. This piece explains why Auris Tech commissioned its white paper on reading aloud using Automatic Speech Recognition, what the National Read Aloud Challenge data revealed across 250,000 reading sessions, and who should be reading the findings.
