Reading Coach: An AI Reading Tool 182

Reading Coach is an AI reading coach tool launched by Microsoft for students. You can choose characters and settings to create unique AI-generated stories. Engage students in reading and improve reading fluency through AI-driven stories and personalized practice.

As you read, the speech-to-text AI analyzes reading fluency, detects vocabulary that learners find challenging, and records reading accuracy, speed, and time. Reading Coach can be used to improve your reading and speech grammar problems.
