Read Aloud is a plugin that enables teachers to evaluate a student's reading ability by giving them WPM (words per minute) and Accuracy scores based on their reading of a passage. Although originally Flash based, the latest version is HTML5, which enables it to be used with modern browsers, smartphones and tablets (though not IE).

It is also possible to complete the activity outside class, or even remotely. Teachers assess student reading quickly and efficiently using a custom interface. The latest version of Read Aloud features AI grading, which automatically matches a transcript of the student’s reading against the original passage and assigns an accuracy and WPM score. After completing the task, both the recording and the reading passage (marked with any errors) can be reviewed by the student. Teachers are able to override errors with manual grading.

In first language contexts, Read Aloud is most often used for reading practice, assessment, and progress monitoring. Many educational authorities require students to reach a certain level of reading proficiency before advancing to the next grade. Read Aloud makes it easy for teachers to collect measures of reading proficiency that can be shared with parents, administrators, and other stakeholders.
Language Learners Read Aloud is also used extensively in language learning. Curricula that include extensive reading or speed reading programs use Read Aloud to measure changes in reading speed and accuracy via pre- and post-testing. Mismatches between the transcription of a student's reading and the original passage provides language learners with valuable feedback on pronunciation.
