How Does Fonetti Work?
What is Fonetti?
Fonetti is the world’s first read-aloud app powered by multi-patented Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology, designed to support and enhance reading fluency, confidence, and comprehension for children.
How It Works
Fonetti acts as a listening eBook, following along as a child reads aloud. The app provides real-time feedback, turning words green when read correctly and prompting gentle encouragement when a child stumbles. This interactive reading experience motivates children to practice reading independently while improving their literacy skills in a fun and engaging way.
Join the Reading Revolution!
Fonetti is transforming the way children engage with books. Whether in the classroom or at home, it makes reading fun, interactive, and rewarding—ensuring every child gets the support they need to thrive.
There is a strong correlation between reading enjoyment and reading improvement.
Interactive Read-Aloud Experience
With Fonetti, children read out loud, receiving instant feedback that empowers their learning. Words turn green as they’re read correctly, while missed or skipped words gently turn grey. A simple double-tap allows the child to hear any word read aloud, helping them seamlessly continue their reading journey without interruption.Real-Time Progress Insights
While children enjoy an uninterrupted reading flow, Fonetti captures valuable data in the background, providing parents and teachers with powerful insights. This feedback helps adults better support each child’s individual reading development, fostering progress and confidence every step of the way.
The Benefits of Reading Aloud
Reading aloud is a valuable skill that benefits all children, yet it can often make both children and adults feel anxious. At Fonetti, we aim to transform this anxiety into confidence, making every child an independent and confident reader. By doing so, we equip them with the tools to succeed in all areas of their life.
Builds Confidence
Reading aloud independently helps children gain confidence in their reading abilities. Fonetti’s supportive environment ensures that every child feels comfortable and motivated to practice, improving their fluency and pronunciation.
Enhances Comprehension
Engaging with the text by reading aloud boosts comprehension and retention. Children develop a deeper understanding of the material, allowing them to access and utilise information more effectively.
Improves Oracy
Reading aloud significantly enhances oracy skills – the ability to express oneself fluently and grammatically in speech. This foundational skill supports children in speaking lessons, helping them articulate thoughts clearly and confidently.
Pronunciation and Intonation
Practicing reading aloud helps children refine their pronunciation and intonation. These skills are crucial not only for reading but also for effective communication in other areas of life.
Enhances Fluency
Regular reading aloud practice improves reading fluency, making it easier for children to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. This fluency is essential for academic success and effective communication.
Supports Speaking Lessons
Reading aloud provides practical experience in speaking clearly and expressively, which is beneficial for formal speaking lessons. Children learn to modulate their voices, use appropriate pacing, and engage their audience effectively.
Supports Overall Development
Encouraging your child to read aloud independently has a positive impact on their overall development. Improved reading accuracy, better retention, and enhanced speaking abilities are just a few of the benefits that come with regular practice.
Fosters a Love for Reading
By turning reading into an adventure, Fonetti encourages children to develop a love of reading. Our engaging stories and interactive features make reading fun, motivating children to read aloud more often.
Reduces Anxiety
Fonetti’s innovative approach reduces the anxiety often associated with reading aloud. Our interactive app provides a safe space for children to practice, making reading a more enjoyable and less stressful activity.
