Students Record Themselves Reading
Students Record Themselves Reading with WriteVoice and get a written transcript of what they read aloud. They tap record on an iPad, an iPhone, or in a web browser, read the passage, and see their words as text.
Each session is saved as a dated note, so progress over a term is easy to see.
It is free to start.

Reading practice students can check themselves
Reading aloud to a device is less stressful for many students than reading to the class.
The transcript gives them a record of how far they got and what they read.
To estimate reading speed, count the words in the transcript and divide by the minutes read.
72% of US fourth-graders with disabilities scored below NAEP Basic in reading in 2024, against 34% of fourth-graders without a disability. See the dyslexia statistics

Start CreatingFrequently asked questions
Does the transcript show every reading mistake?
Not always. WriteVoice tidies grammar and punctuation, so small slips can be smoothed out. Use the transcript as a reading log and a word count, and listen to the student for pronunciation.
How do I work out words per minute from a recording?
Time the reading, count the words in the transcript, and divide the word count by the minutes. A 300-word passage read in 2.5 minutes is 120 words per minute.
Which devices can students use?
iPhone, iPad, or any web browser. Notes sync, so a recording made on a school iPad can be opened at home.
How does WriteVoice work?
You speak, and WriteVoice turns your voice into text. The AI removes filler words, fixes grammar and punctuation, and formats the result for you.
Do I need to clean up the text after?
Usually not. WriteVoice returns clean, formatted text with up to 99% accuracy, so most of the time it is ready to use as is.
Which apps does it work in?
It works in any app on your phone through the WriteVoice keyboard. Dictate into email, messages, notes, docs, and chat.

WriteVoice reaches up to 99% accuracy. It handles accents and natural speech, and custom vocabulary keeps names and jargon spelled right.
