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.
Our unique AI analyses pupil reading data from the Fonetti app, reporting it to teachers via dynamic dashboards in our web-based school portal.
It shows teachers which pupil(s) need support, so they can efficiently focus their attention exactly where it’s needed.

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.
