Amal's AI System That Understands Kids' Speech

How Amal's AI speech recognition technology helps children improve their Arabic pronunciation and supports speech therapy needs.

AI & Speech

Amal's AI speech recognition technology is specifically trained for children's voices and helps them improve their Arabic pronunciation through real-time feedback. The system can support speech therapy needs by providing consistent, patient practice with immediate feedback.

Speech Recognition for Kids

Most speech recognition systems are trained on adult voices. They struggle with children's higher pitch, shorter vocal tracts, and developing pronunciation. Amal's system is different — it was built from the ground up to understand how children speak Arabic.

How It Works

When a child reads or repeats a word in Amal, the AI:

  • Listens to the pronunciation in real time
  • Compares it against the correct Arabic pronunciation
  • Identifies specific sounds that need improvement
  • Provides gentle, encouraging feedback
  • Adjusts future exercises to focus on problem areas

Speech Therapy Support

Many parents have reported that Amal helps children with speech difficulties. While not a replacement for professional speech therapy, the consistent, patient practice with immediate feedback can complement therapeutic approaches.

The speech recognition feature is available in Amal for all letter sounds, words, and reading exercises. For Quranic pronunciation, explore our Thurayya app.

Interactive Stories and Conversational AI

Our AI-powered system goes beyond simple word recognition. Amal provides an interactive conversation and story system for children between the ages of three and five, especially those who are not native Arabic speakers. The system places children at the heart of the story itself while reading it and asks them to complete it interactively rather than through rote memorization. This immersive approach helps children naturally develop their pronunciation skills in a fun and engaging way.

Visible Results in 30 Days

Within 30 days of consistent interaction with Amal, the difference becomes clear. Simple words and even more complex ones are no longer difficult for your child. They will listen to the correct pronunciation and master it, learning proper and correct Arabic. Parents are encouraged to share words that their children struggle to pronounce correctly, and those words will be added to Amal so your child can learn them properly.
