Animated example of a BrightSpeaker practice rep. A student answers the prompt “Should kids have homework?” while the coach tracks whether they face the camera, their pacing, volume, and filler words, then awards 24 XP at the end.

How a rep works

One minute,
second by second.

No install, no student logins for the demo. A teacher picks the prompt; kids speak; the coach does the rest.

  1. 00:00

    Pick a prompt

    Show-and-tell, story retell, opinion speech, book report — or your own.

  2. 00:05

    Speak to the camera

    On any Chromebook, iPad, or laptop. No stage, no audience, no pressure.

  3. 00:30

    Get coached, live

    Facing the camera, pace, volume, and filler words, with kind nudges in the moment.

  4. 01:00

    Celebrate growth

    XP, streaks, and badges reward progress over perfection. Tomorrow, one more rep.

Privacy, drawn plainly

The video
never leaves
the device.

Face detection runs inside the browser. Video is never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere. One thing does cross the line, and we'd rather show you than bury it.

Diagram: camera video, face detection, and scores and history stay inside the student's device. Only spoken audio leaves, when the browser's built-in speech-to-text sends it to the browser company for the live transcript.

The one caveat

The browser's speech-to-text

The browser's built-in speech recognition sends audio to the browser company (Google, Microsoft or Apple) to make the live transcript. Never video. Never to us.

Standards alignment

Practice that
counts for something.

Activities are designed around speaking standards SL.4 and SL.6, so reps become evidence you can point to, with no new rubric to write.

Questions teachers ask

The things you were about to email us.

Do students need to sign up or create accounts?

During a pilot, no — students practice on a shared device and progress lives on that device. Managed sign-in for paid deployments is roadmap work. Clever and ClassLink rostering: not available yet.

Does the video really never leave the device?

Correct. Face detection runs locally in the browser. Student video is never uploaded, stored, or shared. Spoken audio goes to the browser's speech service (Google, Microsoft or Apple, depending on the browser) to make the live transcript. Video never leaves the device. We describe this in plain English on our privacy page.

What devices does BrightSpeaker work on?

Any modern browser with a camera: Chromebooks, iPads, laptops. No installs required. We officially support Chrome, Edge, and Safari from the last two major versions.

How long does it take to get set up in a classroom?

About five minutes to try the browser demo. For pilots, we set up the classroom workflow with the teacher; managed class entry is roadmap work, not a live self-serve system.

How is BrightSpeaker different from adult speech coaching tools?

Purpose-built for ages 5–11. The language, rewards, prompts, and feedback tone are designed with a child development specialist. Adult-focused tools assume reading ability, self-critique, and long attention spans — things we can't take for granted in K–5.

What about ELL students or speech differences?

BrightSpeaker evaluates growth over time, not a fixed accent or speech target — we celebrate every student's own voice. Spanish prompts and per-student weighting for IEPs are on our near-term roadmap; if your classroom needs them sooner, tell us.
