What is LUCA?
LUCA is a reading specialist for K-12 students that uses speech recognition at the phoneme level to hear where a child struggles. It is used by families, tutors and schools, and generates personalized stories for practice.
The system pairs SoundScout speech recognition with StoryGen stories, a diagnostic engine and adaptive learning paths. Parents see progress in FamilyHub, and educators get a classroom analytics dashboard.
It is built around Science of Reading methods and is positioned for homeschool, dyslexia support and after-school programs. The pricing page notes the family plan is ESA eligible, and schools can book a demo or start a pilot.
