The Intelligent Reading Specialist
LUCA brings diagnostic precision to virtual classrooms. Using phoneme-level speech recognition, we listen to students read through any device, identifying specific skill gaps even through remote sessions.
Virtual schools revolutionized access, but oral reading assessment has lagged behind.
Through video calls, catching subtle miscues, /f/ instead of /th/, is nearly impossible. You lose the diagnostic precision of in-person support.
Screen fatigue is real. Adding generic reading practice to a virtual day feels like more of the same. Students disengage; progress stalls.
Phoneme-level capture on any microphone.
SoundScout isolates the student's voice through standard Chromebook or tablet microphones, identifying phoneme-level errors word-level systems miss.
No scheduled 1:1 sessions for testing. Assessment happens during practice, giving you real-time visibility across your entire virtual roster.
Patented StoryGen creates personalized stories that break screen fatigue by focusing on what students actually care about.

| Remote Precision | Optimized for Home Microphones | High miscues through video |
| Content Differentiation | Patented Personalization | Fixed Content Libraries |
Students access LUCA from the same environment they use for everything else. Assignment integration and grade passback ensure LUCA becomes a core part of your virtual instruction, not an add-on.
Explore LMS Integration →SoundScout uses advanced speech recognition specifically trained for reading assessment. It isolates the student's voice and identifies errors at the phoneme level, identifying shifts word-level programs miss through home microphones.
LUCA requires basic connectivity but isn't as bandwidth-heavy as synchronous video calls. Most students who can access virtual classes can use LUCA without issues.
LUCA doesn't require parent instruction. Students interact directly with LUCA, which provides guidance when they struggle. Parents can view progress, but they aren't the instructors.
LUCA offers integration through LTI and direct APIs. Students can access LUCA from Canvas, Schoology, and other major systems via SSO.
