Amira Learning

Amira Learning was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The company develops artificial intelligence software that listens to children read aloud, assesses their literacy skills, and provides tutoring support to help improve reading fluency and comprehension.

The company's core product uses speech recognition and machine learning models trained on children's oral reading data to generate real-time diagnostic assessments and personalized tutoring interventions. Amira's software is used by school districts across the United States as a supplement to classroom reading instruction, targeting students from PreKindergarten through eighth grade.

Amira Learning has raised funding from investors including Owl Ventures and other venture capital firms across multiple rounds. The company grew out of research originally conducted at Carnegie Mellon University related to automated reading tutoring technology.
