Reading passages
Twenty standard practice passages, the same kind used in clinical speech work, ready to read on screen.
Client project ยท shown with permission
TalkTalk Global asked for a better way to practice speech. We built it.
Two speech-language pathologists run a program that helps people speak English more clearly. Their students needed a simple way to practice reading aloud and see how they did. On The Map built that tool. It is live today, with real users, inside the client's own course.

The problem
Homework was manual, and feedback was slow.
The program's teachers were assigning practice by hand. A student would read, record on their own, and wait for a person to listen and respond. That took teacher time for every single practice run, so students got less practice and slower feedback.
The client wanted students to practice any time, get useful feedback right away, and keep the teachers focused on the coaching only a person can do.
The working tool
Read. Record. Get scored. Try again.
The tool runs in the browser. There is nothing to install. A student opens it inside the course they already use.
In-browser recording
The student presses record and reads. No app, no setup, no files to send anyone.
Instant scoring
Each recording gets scores for fluency, accuracy, and pronunciation, so the student knows what to work on right away.
Progress across passages
The student can see how they did across passages and practice the ones that need work.
Runs inside the course
The tool is embedded in the client's own course platform, so practice lives where the lessons live.
Clear boundaries
The program teaches clear pronunciation. It does not promise to remove anyone's accent, and neither does the tool.
What this shows
Client work, delivered and in use.
This build needed browser audio recording, speech scoring, a clean student screen, and careful embedding inside a course platform we did not control.
It is the same plan we use for every build. We learned how the program worked. The client approved the written tool. Then we built the smallest complete version that made the work better, and it has been in use since.
Honest proof
What we do and do not claim.
We publish this project with the client's permission. We keep the claims to what we know is true.
A real client
TalkTalk Global is a client, not a product we own. The tool is live with real users.
Real screens
The pictures show the working tool. The scores shown are sample runs, not student data.
No usage claims
We do not publish user counts or accuracy rates, because no outside party has measured them.
Private methods stay private
At the client's request, we do not describe the technology behind the scoring.
