ClaroLingo is another new development from the company behind ClaroRead, the easy-to-use software solution for supporting students who struggle with reading, writing and learning. It is focused on supporting people learning English and other languages.

Building on the technology perfected for ClaroRead, ClaroLingo uses a high quality, human quality voice that speaks text aloud to help those learning how to pronounce words.

ClaroLingo is currently linked to 40 sample dictionaries, and other partners' dictionaries can be added. It includes an extensive homophone checker, giving extra support for checking the many hundreds of confusable words in the English language.

A key innovation in ClaroLingo is the hover feature which means as a mouse hovers over a word in a document, web page or PDF file, the program uses a special technique to ‘capture' the word. Immediately after capturing it, ClaroLingo can both speak it with a human voice and translate it. Words can be spoken in more than 25 languages, giving language learning support for almost everyone.

"At any one time it is estimated there are 600 million people around the world learning English as an additional language and a staggering 150,000 overseas students studying at UK universities. ClaroLingo builds on our existing technology, and uses the best high quality voices so pronunciation is very good and provides an excellent model for students and other language learners to listen to. ClaroLingo provides assistance and independence for language learners at school, university and in the workplace.''
