Method and system for assessing reading quality

A system, comprising,

• a mobile device, comprising:
• a microphone receiving audio input representative of reading,
• a display,
• a mobile device processor, the mobile device processor receiving the audio input from the microphone and transmitting the audio input representative of reading;
• a server including a server processor receiving the audio input representative of reading transmitted by the mobile device processor and identifying characteristics of the audio input representative of reading, and determining a reading quality score based on the identified characteristics of the audio input representative of reading,
• wherein the identified characteristics of the audio input representative of reading include a pacing score, an engagement score, and an environment score for the audio input representative of reading,
• wherein determining the reading quality score is based on a combination of the pacing score, the engagement score, and the environment score, and the pacing score, the engagement score, and the environment score are determined only when the microphone is receiving audio input representative of reading,
• wherein the server processor transmits the score to the mobile device processor for display on the display of the mobile device,
• wherein the audio input received is human speech from one or more individuals, and
• wherein the server processor differentiate between an audio input of human speech from a first individual and an audio input of human speech from a second individual and further differentiates whether either individual is reading or engaging in conversation in determining the environment score.

A non-transitory computer readable medium which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to execute a method, the method comprising:

• receiving audio input via a microphone representative of reading;
• identifying characteristics of the audio input representative of reading;
• determining a reading quality score based on the identified characteristics of the audio input representative of reading;
• wherein the identified characteristics of the audio input representative of reading include a pacing score, an engagement score, and an environment score for the audio input representative of reading,
• wherein determining the reading quality score is based on a combination of the pacing score, the engagement score, and the environment score, and the pacing score, the engagement score, and the environment score are determined only when the microphone is receiving audio input representative of reading,
• displaying the quality score on a display,
• wherein the audio input received is human speech from one or more individuals, and
• wherein the processor differentiates between an audio input of human speech from a first individual and an audio input of human speech from a second individual and further differentiates whether either individual is reading or engaging in conversation in determining an environment component of the reading quality score.
