Score oral reading in seconds
— not weeks
Pupils read aloud. AI scores words per minute, accuracy and miscues against the actual passage. An alternative to Amira, Lalilo and MS Reading Progress — built for UK schools.

What makes our scoring different
Word-level transcription, linguistic alignment and private AI feedback
Word-level transcription
We use GPT-4o-mini-transcribe with per-word timestamps — so you can click a miscue and hear the exact moment the pupil read it.
Miscue analysis with Needleman-Wunsch
Classic biological sequence alignment adapted for reading: substitutions, omissions, insertions and self-corrections — separated and scored individually.
Private AI teacher summary
Teachers get an anonymised class overview (Pupil A, Pupil B …) with trends and next steps. No pupil PII leaves the school.
How it works
Read aloud
Pupil presses record and reads the assigned passage. Browser microphone — no app needed.
We score it
Audio is transcribed with timestamps, aligned to the target text, and scored on WCPM, accuracy and miscues.
Teacher & parent see progress
Results are saved in the pupil's portfolio. Teachers see class trends; parents see development over time.
