Our Results Have Spoken:

We use automatic speech recognition (ASR) AI technology to measure student progress in fluency throughout the duration of a Nao Now package. ASR enables us to transcribe the student’s speech, converting it into text. This text is then compared to native English speaker pronunciation models to assess aspects such as phonemes, stress patterns, and intonation.
