Dallas, Texas, USA – October 28, 2024:
The 75th Annual Conference of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) witnessed the launch of KOBI, a revolutionary AI-powered reading app designed to transform the reading experience for children with dyslexia. This innovative tool, which has already garnered international acclaim, including the OpenAI Learning Impact Prize and the Tools Competition award, aims to make reading practice accessible, engaging, and stress-free.
KOBI's adaptive reading environment seamlessly integrates with structured literacy programs. Through personalized reading sessions, the app provides targeted prompts and narration, encouraging manageable practice that builds confidence and fluency. Advanced speech recognition technology offers immediate, gentle feedback, helping children improve accuracy without fear of judgment. Customizable text settings allow learners to tailor their reading experience, reinforcing memory and independence.
"Our vision with KOBI is to create a nurturing space where children can practice reading without anxiety," said Ursula Lavrencic, Co-Founder and Chief Learning Engineer. "By involving parents and educators in the learning process, KOBI empowers children to overcome the challenges associated with dyslexia and develop a lifelong love of reading."
Following its successful implementation in Slovenia as the official reading app for K-4 students, KOBI is now expanding its reach to the U.S. market. The app's alignment with best practices in dyslexia support and its potential for scalability have been recognized by esteemed organizations like OpenAI.
"KOBI's U.S. launch marks a significant milestone in making reading support accessible and engaging for children with dyslexia," added Lavrencic. "We are excited to share this innovative approach with a wider audience and contribute to a more inclusive learning environment."
By combining cutting-edge AI technology with evidence-based reading strategies, KOBI offers a comprehensive solution for dyslexic learners. The app's personalized approach, real-time feedback, and customizable features cater to the unique needs of each child, fostering a positive and motivating reading experience.
As KOBI continues to evolve, the developers remain committed to refining the app's capabilities and expanding its impact. By empowering young learners with the tools they need to succeed, KOBI is poised to revolutionize the way we support children with dyslexia.
