Description

Voice recognition technology has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, and its integration into the field of education holds immense potential for transforming the way we teach and learn, particularly in Language Learning. In Reading classes, voice recognition technology is already able to give students personalized instruction and instant feedback. It encourages language learners to improve their pronunciation, accuracy, and reading speed. At the same time, voice recognition tools are aiding educators in assessing students' oral proficiency, saving time.

Looking ahead, voice recognition will likely be used more interactively in Reading education applications. Future systems may, for example, engage with students in natural conversations about a text, improving reading comprehension and advanced oral skills. Applications will hopefully become more affordable and accessible too.

This presentation will explore the current state of voice recognition in Reading education, as well as its benefits and potential.
