Phonological awareness plays a key role in learning to read; therefore, its assessment has received a lot of attention. Research in the domain of phonological awareness has been characterized by attempts to develop reliable and valid assessment tools for diverse populations. Over the past few decades, phonological awareness assessment has gone through a significant evolution. Computer-delivered tests have led to new opportunities. Integrating the new medium into the testing process offers multiple benefits compared to traditional face-to-face and paper-and-pencil methods. Studies on the feasibility, structure and results of online assessments are scarce. The aim of the present study is to explore the possibilities for a technology-based assessment of phonological awareness of Hungarian first language learners (N = 5838) and to develop a reliable and valid online instrument. Results suggest that we have managed to develop a valid, reliable and easy-to-use online phonological awareness test that can be used easily in elementary school classroom settings. The unique results about the multi-dimensional nature of the construct can help rethinking and reconceptualizing phonological assessment in a wide range of languages. Since Hungarian is a language with a high level of orthographic transparency, the results could be generalized to other languages with similar qualities.

语音意识在学习阅读中起着关键作用；因此，它的评估受到了很多关注。语音意识领域的研究的特点是试图为不同人群开发可靠和有效的评估工具。在过去的几十年里，语音意识评估经历了重大的发展。计算机提供的测试带来了新的机会。与传统的面对面和纸笔方法相比，将新媒体集成到测试过程中具有多种优势。关于在线评估的可行性、结构和结果的研究很少。本研究的目的是探索对匈牙利第一语言学习者的语音意识进行基于技术评估的可能性（N = 5838) 并开发可靠有效的在线工具。结果表明，我们已经设法开发出一种有效、可靠且易于使用的在线语音意识测试，可以在小学课堂环境中轻松使用。关于构造的多维性质的独特结果可以帮助重新思考和重新概念化多种语言的语音评估。由于匈牙利语是一种具有高度正字法透明性的语言，因此结果可以推广到具有类似品质的其他语言。
