Questions

SoapBox was founded in 2013 by Dr. Patricia (Trish) Scanlon, a speech recognition technology engineer, after watching her own young children interacting with gamified education apps.

The speech recognition software that is used in common voice assistant solutions, such as Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa, is modeled primarily on adult speech data for adult users and won’t work well for kids, particularly in an educational, or other challenging contexts, like noisy or remote learning environments, or when fast paced and distracted conversations (e.g. gaming) are happening.  

Trish’s vision was to create accurate and scalable speech recognition for kids’ voices that caters to the idiosyncrasies and unique speech patterns of children that adult-focused speech technology finds hard to decode. In her popular ​TEDx talk, Trish explains how the latest advancements in speech recognition technology can “transform a child’s reading journey.”

SoapBox’s mission is to make all kids’ voices heard in the digital world. Our voice technology powers magical, joyful, and frictionless experiences for children regardless of whether they’re using online or offline devices.

Learn more about us, our mission, and our award-winning voice technology.

SoapBox works with media, education, and entertainment companies across the world. We power these companies’ education tools and platforms (literacy, ELL/ESL, math, etc.), as well as their gaming, robots, interactive TV, and XR experiences. 

Our clients range from household names like McGraw Hill and Mattel to digital pioneers like Norby and Lingumi developing voice-first experiences. 

For most SoapBox customers, our off-the-shelf API, which leverages our pre-trained models, can be integrated quickly and easily to power their use case. Off-the-shelf integration is available for use cases as diverse as command and control, search, utility, menus, multi-choice questions, pronunciation assessments, conversation, keyword spotting, and moderation filters. Custom models can also be built for customers whose use cases require speech transcripts, voice chat transcripts, dictation, or reading fluency assessments.

SoapBox’s voice engine is built from the ground up by SoapBox Labs. We do not use any third-party speech recognition tools or voice engines, such as those provided by Amazon, Microsoft or Google.

Since our founding in 2013, SoapBox engineers have been dedicated to building an independent, high accuracy, privacy-by-design engine that caters specifically to kids ages 2 – 12. That engine is specialist, proprietary, unique in its capabilities and easy to customize, and that’s why clients choose to work with us instead of one of the off-the-shelf voice tech solutions.

Learn more about our proprietary voice technology on our Technology page.

SoapBox’s speech recognition technology is world class and leads the market for a number of reasons. Firstly, it’s proprietary and built to work accurately for kids’ voices ages 2 years and up. 

Most other speech recognition systems are built primarily on adult voice data and model adult behaviors. Therefore, they don’t work well for kids. Kids are unique, and building speech recognition software for them is complex given their unpredictable speech patterns and behaviors, diverse accents and dialects, noisy environments, and their privacy needs. 

SoapBox’s voice engine has been built to accommodate all of these complexities. It can accurately understand kids’ speech down to the phoneme level and has been independently validated to show no bias in speech recognition between kids of different accents and ethnic backgrounds (to learn more about this independent research please email us: hello@soapboxlabs.com). 

SoapBox’s voice engine is also unique in the industry because it gives you the power to build — and change — the voice experience you’re offering (specific brand names, non-dictionary words, etc.) without the need for customization. And when you do need a custom approach (e.g., for speech transcriptions and reading fluency assessments) we can build custom models for you.

SoapBox’s voice engine is a game-changer for education companies in particular, where identifying subtleties in a child’s pronunciation (pronouncing “color” as “other”, for example) can have a big impact on their learning progress. 

SoapBox is also an independent company, whose technology is built from the ground up by our in-house team of experts. We focus only on building world-class voice technology for kids and have no business models around data, advertising, or marketing. We are a privacy-first company and proactively protect children’s fundamental right to voice data privacy. 

Learn about the features and use cases of our voice tech on our Technology page.

We’ve worked hard to ensure that our speech recognition technology treats all kids’ voices equally, regardless of age, race, accent, or dialect. Our technology is built on thousands of hours of children’s speech data from 193 countries and is highly accurate, returning pronunciation scores down to the level of individual phonemes.

In fact, our technology has been independently validated to show no bias across the wide ranges of race, accent, and socio-economic backgrounds you’d find, for example, in an urban classroom. That kind of validation is the result of eight-plus years of commitment by our Speech Technology and Engineering teams, and we’re exceptionally proud of it.

Through SoapBox Studio, we partner with clients to support them with their technology needs and join them on their voice journey to delivering a successful voice-enabled product to market. Learn more about the bespoke services we offer on our Studio page.

Most speech recognition systems have been designed for adult users, whose voices and speech behaviors are very different from kids. To work accurately for kids, voice technology needs to be designed uniquely with them in mind. Here’s why: 

1. Physically, kids have a thinner, shorter vocal tract and smaller vocal folds, and their larynx has not fully developed, so they can’t always enunciate words properly.
2. Kids won’t modify their speech or speaking behavior to be understood. They elongate, overpronounce, and over punctuate words. They also shout, whisper, and sing!
3. Kids’ environments tend to be much noisier than those of adults. Their voices are  often competing with the ambient noise of other kids, TVs, ovens and dishwashers, TVs and classrooms.
4. Kids’ privacy needs are different and much more expansive than adults’. Their data needs to be protected so that it can never be individually identifiable, used to create a unique user profile, shared or sold to third parties, or use collected data for marketing or advertising purposes.

Speak with a voice expert today to learn more about SoapBox’s speech recognition software for children and to tell us about your use case for voice. 

SoapBox’s voice technology offers a unique opportunity to deliver empowering, joyful, and immersive experiences to kids of all ages and stages of development, experiences they otherwise wouldn’t be able to access or benefit from.

Here are our top use cases for voice technology in education:

1. Early literacy: Literacy practice and assessment of expressive language manipulation from phonological and phonemic awareness to blending and decoding, letter sounds, words, and short sentences. 
2. Reading fluency: All stages of reading fluency and running records from phonics to oral reading fluency and comprehension, assessing pronunciation, words correct per minute, reading errors, intonation, and prosody.
3. Language learning: Pronunciation and comprehension practice and language skills assessments, from phonics and letter sounds through to fluency, speaking, reading, and conversations.
4. Math: From counting and word math to speedy times tables and multiple choice questions. Natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition can help children to engage and build their confidence around mathematical concepts from a young age.

Top uses cases for our voice technology in entertainment include: 

1. Gaming: Voice-controlled software increases accessibility and reduces friction in gameplay, manages privacy and safety, and offers cross-platform scalability across console, mobile, XR, and more.
2. Media: Voice technology delivers interactive conversational storytelling, promotes longer engagement between kids and their favorite characters and is scalable across media, from TVs to theme parks. 
3. Smart Toys: Voice offers interactivity and friction-free, magical play experiences. It also increases accessibility for younger children and can be delivered as privacy-first experiences, offline, or embedded.

A feature of our voice engine called Fluency delivers accurate voice-enabled literacy practice and assessment for students in preK-12 and delivers rich, granular, near-real time data back to populate teacher dashboards. 

SoapBox’s Fluency feature has a level of accuracy that sets it apart from other speech recognition systems. Feedback on a child’s speech is returned down to the phoneme level, which means that every phoneme in a word is scored and can therefore Identify subtleties in a child’s pronunciation (if they substituted “color” for “other”, for example). Understanding every phoneme is a powerful capability of our engine and has significant benefits for our clients and their end users -for example in how it supports teachers’ instruction and early intervention in the classroom.

The granular data points generated by our fluency speech recognition feature — including Words Correct Per Minute (WCPM), insertions, deletions, substitutions, repetitions, and more — give teachers both immediate and longitudinal scoring with which to benchmark students’ progress and support on their literacy or language learning journey.

Voice technology transforms passive experiences into interactive ones, allowing kids to engage more actively and use their voices to learn and play more immersively. It also makes learning a more rewarding and relatable experience to the modern student, in and beyond the classroom.

Voice-enabled apps, tools, and games give kids agency and access. They also breathe new life and opportunity into education and entertainment products and product roadmaps. 

Here are some examples of the many benefits of voice technology for kids: 

• A pre-literate child can command and control their game or toy without having to struggle with a controller or menu. 
• An emergent bilingual child can use their voice to practice pronouncing words out loud in a new language and receive immediate feedback and recognition for their progress.
• A teacher can undertake more regular and automated reading assessments at scale, rather than individually with students, and get accurate scoring and feedback on each student’s progress.

SoapBox is the only voice engine that offers accuracy for kids of all ages and accents down to the phoneme level. Here is some of the external validation we’ve received from our clients:

• In their partner evaluation, MetaMetrics found a very high correlation between the SoapBox voice engine and human annotators for oral reading fluency assessments.
• During extensive beta testing over a six-month period, education pioneer Amplify found a correlation of 96% between SoapBox’s automatic assessments and human scoring, a correlation comparable to that of human-to-human scoring that exceeds market standards. More details about Amplify’s evaluation and use case for our voice technology can be found in this literacy-focused white paper. 
• Two pre-eminent US-based academic research institutions have recently undertaken independent studies of the accuracy of competing speech systems and found that for kids, SoapBox performed best. One of these studies focused on the existence of bias in speech recognition and found that SoapBox performed equally well among groups of Black, Latinx, and white children from different socioeconomic backgrounds and demonstrated no bias in speech recognition towards or against any particular cohort. Public-facing reports of these studies have yet to be published.

Yes! At SoapBox, our mission has always been to deliver a solution that works for all ages, accents, and dialects. To do this, we’ve focused on the hardest problem of all — delivering high accuracy for kids of all ages. We think of adults as the most well-behaved, mature, articulate children, so our models work well for them too!

SoapBox is committed to building accurate, inclusive speech recognition technology that works for children everywhere. We’ve taken steps to ensure that no child, irrespective of their accent or dialect, is penalized for using a dialectical variant that is different, but not wrong. It’s paramount to us and to our clients that our voice technology is fair, reliable, and non-discriminatory. Many of our customers are delivering speech solutions to schools with rich and diverse cultural heritages, and it’s a core requirement that their products and solutions serve all students and teachers equally.

We’ve ensured that our speech recognition engine understands all kids’ voices by training our acoustic models on kids’ accents and dialects from 193 countries. The SoapBox voice engine can accommodate unique or custom pronunciations for any population and has been independently validated to show no bias in speech recognition across race, accent, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Visit our Technology page to learn how our voice technology delivers accuracy for all kids’ voices. 

Our voice engine was designed to understand kids’ speech in real-world environments, without the need for headsets and mics, and to ignore background voices and noise without additional noise-canceling. Our kids’ voice data was collected on a wide range of mobile devices in informal settings, such as cars, homes, and busy classrooms.

Tell us about the noisy environment or educational setting where you’d like to use our speech recognition engine by completing our Speak with a Voice Tech Expert form.

Yes, the SoapBox voice engine returns voice data on kids’ speech down to the phoneme level. 

The phoneme breakdown feature of our speech recognition engine is a game-changer for education companies in particular. Identifying subtleties in a child’s pronunciation (if they substituted “color” for “other”, for example) can have a big impact on how teachers instruct students and lead to better learning outcomes over time. 

Read our white paper “Fluency: Understanding every phoneme” to learn more about our phoneme breakdown feature.

Yes, we build custom models for customers who need them. For most SoapBox customers, our off-the-shelf API, which leverages our pre-trained models accurately, powers their use cases, no customization needed. Use cases for off-the-shelf include command and control, search, utility, menus, multiple-choice questions, pronunciation assessments, conversation, keyword spotting, and moderation filters. 

Custom models can also be built for customer specific domains and tuned to their own corpus of texts and style of language. These customers’ use cases typically include speech transcripts, voice chat transcripts, dictation, or reading fluency assessments. 

We’d be happy to customize and build a CLM for your voice tech use case. Get started today by completing our Speak with a Voice Tech Expert form, and a member of our team will be happy to schedule a call.

If there’s a privacy concern when it comes to adult users of speech recognition technology, that concern is much greater when it comes to kids. Here are three reasons why:

1. Voice gives kids agency and allows them to learn and play in the most natural way possible – using their voices. But voice is another entry point to the internet, and we must be mindful of what we let our kids access, play, and digitally control when using their voices.
2. Voice data is a form of biometric data. It conveys more than just what was said. Voice data convey our identity, our emotions, our intentions, our environment, and certain health conditions. Even our socioeconomic and educational background can be inferred from our accents and dialects.
3. The data kids share on consumer platforms, be it voice data or otherwise, can be used to create profiles of them as individual consumers, and these profiles can follow them throughout their lifetime.

To learn more about the importance of protecting kids’ data privacy, read our interview with children’s data privacy expert Dr. Veronica Barassi.

We are a privacy-first speech recognition company. Since our founding in 2013, we have invested in a privacy-by-design approach to our data and technology, with the goal of protecting every kid’s right to voice-data privacy. Our kids’ voice data will never be shared with or sold to third parties, and will never be used to support activities like marketing and advertising.

We work with our partner privacy safe harbor PRIVO TRUST to ensure we  are fully compliant with relevant data privacy and data protection regulations, including COPPA and GDPR.

For more information on our approach to privacy, visit our Privacy page and Online Speech Services privacy policy. 

When SoapBox Labs entered the voice technology market in 2013, it still felt like the wild west in terms of data privacy compliance for kids. Even so, a privacy-by-design approach to data and technology was part of our DNA from the very beginning. It wasn’t faster or cheaper to design-in privacy. Still, as a deep-tech, kid-focused company, we wanted to set ourselves up for long-term success – and that meant respecting every kid’s fundamental right to privacy.

To this day, other speech recognition software providers have competing business models that process and sell voice data for its commercial value. Not SoapBox. Here are the steps we take — and encourage all players in the voice industry to do the same — to ensure voice technology does not threaten kids’ rights:

1. Deliver transparency on how kids’ voice data is used once it is stored. 
2. Commit to treat kids’ data differently to adults’ data, even with consent.
3. Commit to identify voice data captured without consent (e.g., from a playmate or visitor to the home whose parent has not given consent) and delete it.
4. Develop kid/adult voice classifiers to protect kids from adult-centered digital environments and to recognize when parental consent is needed before storing voice data.
5. Develop voice solutions where processing of voice data is embedded on-device.

Visit our Privacy page to learn more about how we build our voice technology to protect every kid’s right to privacy.

SoapBox believes in a proactive approach to voice data privacy. That approach, called privacy-by-design, means that we proactively take steps and build processes that ensure we never identify an individual child when processing their voice data. In this video, CEO Dr. Martyn Farrows explains further.

Please visit our Privacy page to learn more about our approach to protecting kids’ data privacy.

You remain the controller and processor of your customers’ and users’ data. Your system sends us anonymized data, which is not linked back to an individual. 

However, in line with some legislation (e.g., GDPR), we can erase a user based on their unique ID.

For more information on our approach to privacy, please visit our Privacy page and Online Speech Services privacy policy.

Our database comprises tens of thousands of hours of children’s speech data from 193 countries, collected in real-world noisy environments (e.g., kitchen, classrooms, and cars).

Visit our Technology page to learn more about what sets SoapBox’s voice engine from other speech recognition systems.

Kid-focused companies need to partner with a voice provider that takes all necessary steps to protect kids’ data privacy. Ask your voice provider these questions to ensure privacy is one of their top priorities:

• How do you store voice data?
• What advertising, marketing, and other revenue models are associated with your data?
• Do you reuse or sell voice data?
• Who owns the kids’ voice data on your system?
• Do you employ a safe harbor company to certify your approach to voice data privacy? 
• What rights do I have to the voice data processed by your system?

To learn how SoapBox protects every child’s fundamental right to voice data privacy, visit our Privacy page.

Here are five top considerations when choosing a voice tech provider:

1. Insist on accuracy: Does the voice system cater to every style of behavior and speech pattern, and cover all your learning, entertainment, or edutainment use cases?
2. Test for universality: Does the voice system work for all users across all devices?
3. Mitigate the risk of bias: Does the voice system understand each kid’s voice equally well, ensuring equity, objectivity? 
4. Prioritize privacy: Does the voice provider have built-in protections as part of their data collection, design, and engineering processes, and give you control over how your voice data is used? 
5. Plan for partnership: If you’re a voice novice, look for a technology partner that can not only fulfill your technology needs but join you on your voice journey to delivering successful speech recognition products to market.
