Our summary
This project is a reading practice tool that listens to a person read out loud and highlights their mistakes. Someone would use this to practice reading English on their own computer, tracking their progress and seeing their errors instantly.
The software turns speech into text with time markers, never changing words it already saved. It compares this text to the original passage. Jev, an AI tool that chooses from options rather than writing an answer, categorizes the reading mistakes.
This setup helps developers build text-based reading tests. It requires specific transcription software and Jev services to function. Because the AI only reads text and does not hear the audio, it cannot score actual pronunciation, stress, or accent.
Key takeaways
- Save spoken words as text with time markers before comparing them to the expected reading passage.
- Use an AI tool to categorize reading mistakes and check if words belong to the same sentence.
- Calculate scores locally and avoid scoring pronunciation since the AI only reads text and cannot hear audio.
