Children read aloud on Fonetti
Teachers get real-time pupil reading data






Fonetti uses the power of the child’s own voice to accelerate reading improvements and boost reader confidence, whilst giving teachers actionable reading data to drive effective classroom interactions.

Children read aloud with Fonetti. When they match the words, they go green, and if the words are skipped or misread, they turn grey.
Reading independently, helps children improve their confidence and accuracy, while subtly promoting a love of reading.
Why Fonetti?

Children benefit from reading aloud
Fonetti uses our proprietary automatic speech recognition technology to actively listen to children as they read aloud, turning the words green in real-time when they get them right.
Works across multiple accents
The app works with all UK based accents including where English is an additional language, and whether at school or home, reading aloud with Fonetti helps children realise the power of their own voice… perfect for a confidence boost.


Not just another ebook reader
Fonetti is not just another ebook reader. It’s part of a reading revolution. It’s designed to engage a new generation of tech-savvy children who are used to real-time interactions, validation and engagement.
Books to encourage a love of reading
With an ever-growing library of content which includes fiction, non-fiction and curriculum-supporting content that’s suitable for different ages and abilities, Fonetti sparks, develops and reinforces a love of reading in both reluctant and more confident readers.

How Fonetti works
Voice recognition developed for reading in partnership with the University of Edinburgh
As children read aloud with Fonetti, the words turn green in real-time when they get them right…
If a child isn’t sure how to say a word, they simply double-tap it and Fonetti reads the word to them.


Providing subtle error feedback
If they miss a word or get it wrong, Fonetti turns it grey and crucially, it allows the child to continue their reading flow which is extremely important for young readers.
Friendly reporting to encourage and motivate
When the child completes a book, they are congratulated and given a percentage score for accuracy, which they can compare with their previous accuracy scores and reading duration for the other books they’ve read, encouraging them to want to improve and read more.


Can be used in school and home
When used in schools as a reading resource, there’s the added benefit of the pupil reading data being passed real-time into the School Portal, which teachers review and use to drive more effective interventions.
Here’s a word from our Brand Ambassador…
“I’m a massive fan of Fonetti because of the inventive way it makes reading fun, engages young readers and captures their imaginations. This is a highly innovative education startup motivated by a global vision to improve reading skills and why I agreed to support the business and become it’s Brand Ambassador.”
