Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for providing reading performance feedback to a user from a voice recording of the user reading an arbitrary text. A target text comprising a text passage that a user intends to read and a user recording comprising an audio recording of the user reading the target text aloud are received from a user device. The user recording is converted to a user speech hypothesis comprising text corresponding to speech recognized in the audio recording. The user speech hypothesis is then compared to the target text to generate reading performance feedback comprising relevant differences between the speech in the user recording and the target text and the reading performance feedback is displayed to the user on the user device.
