Voice AI for Early Literacy

Early Literacy assessment and intervention applications today can benefit greatly from applying AI to scale the scale and volume of scored activities within their product.

At Speechace, we believe that advanced Voice AI can take today's literacy products to the next level allowing teachers to achieve greater assessment, earlier detection, and structured intervention to ensure every early learner has the highest chance of mastering the foundational skills they will need throughout their K12 education.

With Speechace API, you can implement activities to practice Phonics, Letter Names and Sounds, Oral Reading Fluency, and more.

Letter Names:

Letter Name activities are essential for helping students recognize letters and connect them to sounds, setting the stage for successful reading and writing.

By integrating these activities into your literacy programs, you’ll enhance phonemic awareness and build the foundational skills students need for reading readiness.

Letter Sounds:

There’s a special moment when a student connects a letter to its sound — it’s the foundation of reading confidence.

Our letter sound activities are designed to make this learning process engaging and effective, helping students take that first step toward becoming fluent readers. Our markup language allows customizing the expected letter sound down to the phoneme level.

Alphabet words:

Transition from letters to words is a crucial step for every young learner, but many struggle without enough practice. This gap can slow down their progress in both reading and speaking.

Our API allows you to easily create Alphabet Words activities that help learners connect letters to words in a structured and, engaging way. With our API you can offer real-time feedback to learners, helping sharpen their word formation and pronunciation skills.

Nonsense words:

Nonsense words like "arn," "thame," or "Shuzzle" and such playful combinations of sounds not only spark creativity but can also serve practical purposes - especially when it comes to language exploration and games.

With our API, you can easily generate practice activities with your own nonsense words.

Oral Reading Fluency (ORF):

Read-aloud or Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) is one of the most common measures of a learner's ability to read a passage correctly while maintaining a natural speaking rate and rhythm.

Our fluency scoring evaluates several aspects of speech fluency such as word correct per minute, speaking rate, pausing, hesitations, repetitions, variation in tone, and many others.
