Reading Assistant: Every reader deserves a listener!

Speech recognition technology is transforming the reading and learning abilities of children all over the world.
Speech recognition has the potential of becoming an amazing tool that would help self conscious and struggling readers into fluent readers.

Both parents and teachers know what it's like to watch a child struggle with learning how to read and ending these enduring sessions with hot tears. However, with device aids such as Reading Assistant (TM), children and even adults who have difficulty reading will be able to have a virtual private session with a teacher. Online access makes it accessible for children at school and at home. 
How does it work? It "listens" to students reading out loud, providing feedback at the same time. 

The last thing that children who are struggling with reading want is to read out loud in front of their classmates and teachers. This tool based on Speech Recognition provides them with privacy and at the same time is a valuable learning resource!

Speech Recognition- New or Old?

Not so long ago, we saw how big companies started to use automated voice recording to guide us through option menus as a way to speed up and organize the calls that came through. The main technology that was behind that change was a type of speech recognition. 

However, speech recognition technology has come a long way from there. Nowadays, we can find it in every personal computer and even in mobile phone applications such as SIRI.

Speech recognition has been around for a while but the technology is still far away from its ultimate goal, which is the ability to speak continuously, no matter what your accent, volume or background sounds are.

The holly grail for this technology will be to reach a point where any computer, phone or other device will perfectly recognize what you say and will be enabled to read your voice mail, take your messages, call someone, or type the words that you dictate into a word processing program.

Currently, many companies like Facebook, Apple and Google have been increasingly looking into Speech recognition and in future posts we will bring more details on, where and how these and many other companies from the automotive, aerospace, military and healthcare sector are using it to revolutionize their industry.
