Equity Right From The Start
Just out! Our new checklist for assessing equity in voice AI. Now education companies, school districts and teachers know what questions to ask when considering voice AI powered learning tools.
SoapBox Labs is now the AI-focused R&D Hub of leading edtech company, Curriculum Associates (CA). In this new chapter, we will continue to drive innovation in equitable voice AI and will work with CA to empower teachers and improve educational outcomes for K-12 students in classrooms across the US.
Our voice engine caters to kids’ unique voices, speech patterns, behaviors, and environments.
SoapBox believes in an inclusive digital world where all children have their voices heard, regardless of race, background, age, or ethnicity. Since 2013 we’ve been building speech models to understand all children’s voices accurately and equally, and in 2022, we became the first AI company to be certified for Prioritizing Racial Equity in AI Design by Digital Promise and the EdTech Equity Project. We continue to be the only AI company independently certified for our work to deliver equity.

The SoapBox voice engine powers your use case with accurate speech-to-text transcriptions and education-specific data features so that educators get the insights they need, down to the phoneme level, to support individual learners.
