Teachers can assign sample text of their choosing to every student in their class, then have them read aloud in a video or audio recording that is automatically assessed by the Artificial Intelligence built into the system, before being passed back to the teacher for further analysis. Furthermore, the software includes a number of features, all designed to help students maximise their reading progress.
