Education Dive, a leading education industry publication, recently featured Voxy in an article that dives into how artificial intelligence is lending itself to improved personalized learning, classroom accessibility, and enhanced educational tools. Here we take a closer look at how Voxy’s AI-powered platform has the ability to make language learning programs faster, better, and stronger.
