Using AI to close the literacy gap

Summary

Reading is an essential element of primary education. Unfortunately, the traditional screening and analysis processes designed to detect reading difficulties are labor-intensive and time-consuming. Leaving some kids fall to through the net. To address this issue, Lexplore has used AI and attention computing technologies to transform reading assessment into a rapid PC-based solution that frees up teacher time for remediation and follow-up — helping to close the literacy gap.

In this success story, we cover the journey from research and innovation to commercialization of EdTech startup BrainLeap Technologies, and how they have leveraged scientific findings in their game-based attention training solution.
