Backed by world-leading research. Built for reading aloud.
At the heart of Fonetti is our patented, proprietary speech recognition technology, created specifically to listen to children read aloud.
Developed by Auris Tech Limited in collaboration with The University of Edinburgh, our technology can listen to an entire classroom reading at the same time, while hearing and assessing each child individually and accurately.
This means every child can benefit from more opportunities to practise reading aloud, building fluency, confidence and independence, while teachers gain valuable insight into their reading progress.
Fonetti works alongside teachers and traditional guided reading, giving schools a powerful way to provide more reading practice, more often, for every child.

We’re often asked
How does Fonetti improve whole-school reading outcomes?
Fonetti increases the amount of time every child spends reading aloud — one of the most effective ways to build fluency and confidence. With consistent practice and real-time feedback, schools see measurable improvements in literacy across entire cohorts, not just targeted groups.
What data and insights does Fonetti provide?
Fonetti tracks reading activity, accuracy, and progress in real time. Teachers and leaders get clear, actionable reports that highlight:
– Individual progress
– Class and cohort trends
– Pupils who may need additional support
This makes it easy to evidence impact and inform teaching decisions.
How easy is it to implement across a school?
Fonetti is quick to roll out with minimal training required. Schools can be up and running in a matter of days, and it can be used flexibly in classrooms, interventions or at home.
Is Fonetti safe and GDPR compliant?
Yes, Fonetti is built with safeguarding and data privacy at its core. The platform is fully GDPR compliant, and all data is securely stored and managed. We only collect the data necessary to support children’s reading progress, giving schools complete confidence in how information is handled.
How does Fonetti fit into schools’ existing reading strategy?
Fonetti is designed to complement, not replace, schools’ current approach. It works alongside phonics programmes, guided reading, and interventions, giving every child additional 1:1 reading practice without adding to teacher workload.
Is Fonetti suitable for SEND and EAL learners?
Yes, Fonetti is particularly effective for SEND and EAL pupils. It provides a safe, judgement-free environment where children can practice at their own pace, building confidence without the pressure of reading in front of others.
