Read the sentence aloud

Watch how Word Wiz AI analyzes pronunciation in real-time

It hears the sound,
not just the word.

Most reading apps can tell your child a word was wrong. Word Wiz tells them which sound was wrong.

Reading teachers draw one box for each sound in a word. Word Wiz checks your child’s reading the same way, then circles the sound that slipped.

  • Checks every sound in every word
  • Builds the next sentence around the miss
  • Free, with no ads and nothing to upgrade
Try the ow sound in brownYour child read brown as “brone”
Next sentence, built around /aʊ/

Now the brown cow sat down.

Watch it check
every sound.

Each word gets a row of boxes, one for every sound it needs. Word Wiz drops each sound your child says into its box. A sound that matches drops right in, and one that doesn’t fit sticks, so the app knows exactly which sound slipped.

It only corrects a word when three or more of its sounds were wrong. A small slip in an otherwise good reading still gets a “Great job!”

Your child reads

Listening to “The dog ran.” and checking every sound…

Read, get feedback,
read again.

Three steps, repeated for as long as your child wants to keep going.

  1. Read this out loud

    The brown dog ran to the park.

    Listening
    Step 1

    Your child reads aloud

    A sentence appears and Word Wiz listens through the microphone, one sentence at a time.

  2. Thebrowndograntothepark
    b/b/
    r/r/
    ow/aʊ/
    n/n/
    1 of 4 sounds off
    Step 2

    Every sound gets checked

    The recording is broken into sounds and compared, word by word, with how the sentence should sound.

  3. Nice reading! Look at brown. The ow says /aʊ/, like when you bump your knee. Want to try it again?

    Next sentence

    Now the brown cow sat down.

    Step 3

    Feedback, then a new sentence

    Your child hears what to try differently, out loud so pre-readers get it too. The next sentence is built around the sound that needs practice.

What happens to the recording

It’s used to check the reading, then it’s gone.

  1. 1

    Recorded only while reading

    The microphone runs while your child reads a sentence, and stops.

  2. 2

    Scored on our server

    Deepgram, a speech service, writes down the words without keeping the audio. Our server scores each sound and writes the feedback. OpenAI only sees scores.

  3. 3

    Then thrown away

    We keep scores and which sounds were hard. No ads, and nothing is sold.

Questions parents ask

Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, write to [email protected].

Yes. There are no ads, no subscription, and no card on file. It stays free because charging $10 to $15 a month would shut out the kids who need reading help most.
