KOBI Launches "ThinkTalk," a Groundbreaking Conversational Comprehension Coach for Young Readers with Dyslexia

Vrtojba, Slovenia, March 20 2025 - KOBI is excited to unveil ThinkTalk, a new feature that encourages children with dyslexia to speak aloud about the stories they've just read. ThinkTalk uses AI-driven speech recognition to listen to their answers, offer helpful feedback, and guide them through a natural conversation - making comprehension practice easy, fun, and engaging.

Experts have long underscored that understanding and thinking critically about written material shape how the brain processes information. Marianne Wolf, a leading scholar on literacy and the brain, has shown how reading transforms human thought and has been pivotal to our civilization's evolution. For struggling readers - and children with dyslexia in particular - meaningful practice and immediate feedback are key to unlocking the benefits of fluent reading. Studies on reading interventions emphasize that providing timely, tailored guidance can greatly enhance learning outcomes, self-confidence, and motivation.

ThinkTalk seamlessly integrates into KOBI's existing platform, where narrated books, phonics instruction, and progressive, individualized word acquisition already set the company apart. KOBI is proud to be the only product on the market that combines narrated books, phonics, and a personalized system that steadily advances a child's vocabulary. By enabling voice-based comprehension checks and interactive prompts, ThinkTalk encourages children to articulate their understanding and receive immediate, supportive responses - critical steps toward mastery for learners with dyslexia.

"We are extremely excited about how AI is advancing the field of special education," says Ursula Lavrencic, CEO and Co-founder of KOBI. "With ThinkTalk, we're placing the best of AI at the service of children who need it most, ensuring that kids with dyslexia get the real-time, adaptive assistance they deserve."
