BENGALURU: In a classroom in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru, half a dozen young students sit at a desk, listening intently to a small black device as a woman’s voice calls out simple sentences in English, that they then repeat carefully.
The device, an Amazon Echo Dot speaker, uses artificial intelligence-enabled voice recognition technology to help the students improve their reading, listening and speaking in English – for some their second language, for others their third.
