Why and how our automated reading tutor listens

Abstract

Project LISTEN’s Reading Tutor listens to children read aloud, and helps them learn to read. This paper outlines how it gives feedback, how it uses ASR, and how we measure its accuracy. It describes how we model various aspects of oral reading, some ideas we tried, and lessons we have learned about acoustic models, lexical models, confidence scores, language models, alignment methods, and prosodic models.
