Insights and Expertise

Since 2013, SoapBox Labs has been modeling kids’ speech and behavior patterns to develop the most accurate and private voice technology for kids. We’ve also spent that time developing our expertise and advocacy in relation to kids’ digital rights.

The reports and white papers shared here offer insights into our company, the accuracy of our technology, our work on kids’ voice data privacy, and the broader ASR and voice technology markets.

The Decade of Voice Tech for Kids.

In 2020, SoapBox Labs sits at the nexus of three large global trends – voice tech, kidtech and data privacy and will continue to spearhead global innovation and thought leadership in all three.

Fostering Literacy - White Paper

As part of our literacy focused partnership with Microsoft, we embarked on a short research study to demonstrate the efficacy of using speech recognition for early readers.

The aim of the study was to help education companies interested in integrating our technology to understand how voice technology can help young readers.

The pilot took place in Q1 2019 and as the white paper discusses, the results were positive and statistically significant.

Voice Prints and Children's Rights

In May 2019, SoapBox Labs collaborated with thought leader and anthropologist Dr. Veronica Barassi on this submission to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in relation to kids’ data rights in the digital world.
