Overview
SoapBox believes in an inclusive digital world where all children's voices are heard. Our equity centered, privacy-first speech recognition software powers these voice experiences for kids of all ages, accents and races. SoapBox's proprietary voice AI engine is available as a lightweight, low-code API for fast and easy off-the-shelf integrations across a wide range of use cases, from early literacy to dyslexia screening, language learning and more. We also build custom models where longer transcriptions are needed, such as oral reading fluency assessments.
