NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Voxy, the only online language solution to offer a fully personalized and adaptive English course based exclusively on real-world content, is proud to announce that it has won a Brandon Hall Group gold award for excellence in the Best Advance in Custom Content category.

This award recognizes Voxy's personalized approach to designing instructional materials for English language learners, as well as its ability to develop custom content for institutional partners. Voxy's library of educational resources is updated daily, and contains more than 30,000 hours of authentic content from leading publishers like the Associated Press, Bloomberg and Financial Times.

"Voxy is very proud to have won this award and to be in the company of other organizations doing such exciting, innovative work," said Voxy CEO Paul Gollash. "Offering learners access to personalized, custom content is integral to our success because it's the most efficient way to help them meet their language learning goals. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all curriculum, Voxy creates a micro-personalized experience for each learner."

Voxy's proprietary natural language processing (NLP) technology can turn any media content into an effective lesson, and a powerful recommendation engine allows Voxy to personalize instruction in real time. Every Voxy course is tailored to a learner's proficiency level, goals and personal interests, which means no two courses are exactly alike.

Voxy can also develop custom content for the specific needs of its institutional partners, representing a significant breakthrough for Voxy's enterprise product. Educational institutions are therefore betterequipped to integrate Voxy into their preexisting curricula, and corporate materials required for staff training can be transformed into learning material on Voxy's platform.

"The high quality of work and commitment to driving business results among our award winners never fails to amaze me," said Rachel Cooke, Chief Operating Officer of Brandon Hall Group and head of the awards program. "All of these winning programs deliver meaningful business results to their organizations. Winning an Excellence Award is a great honor, but the real winners are the organizations themselves and their customers and clients because of the innovation and customer focus they demonstrate."

Entries were evaluated by a panel of independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group Sr. Analysts and Executive Leadership based upon the following criteria: how an identified need is addressed, design of the program, functionality, innovation and overall measureable benefits.
