Microsoft Reading Coach

Microsoft Reading Coach is a reading practice application described in Microsoft's official support material. A learner can create a story, select from a reading library, or add a passage of their own. In the story mode, the learner chooses a character, setting, and reading level before the application creates a story. The learner reads aloud while speech-to-text technology analyzes fluency and identifies words that need more practice. After a session, Reading Coach offers targeted word exercises and records measures such as accuracy, reading speed, and time spent. The support page says challenging words from one story chapter can appear in the next chapter, making practice responsive to the learner's progress. The library includes curated fiction and nonfiction passages, and users can also paste their own text or word list. Microsoft describes moderation and safeguards for generated stories, while recommending guardian or educator supervision for AI-generated content. Reading Coach can be used in a school or at home with a Microsoft account, and Microsoft lists a web experience and Windows app. The official support page explains the current reading modes and accessibility options for learners and educators.
