Confident speakers are built in short, private reps.
BrightSpeaker gives K–5 students a friendly browser coach for eye contact, pacing, filler words, and volume. Teachers get a five-minute routine, not another grading pile.
Four taps to speaking practice — every kid, every day.
No install and no student account setup for the browser demo. Teachers choose the prompt, kids speak, and BrightSpeaker coaches.
Pick an activity
Story retelling, show-and-tell, opinion speech, book report, or a teacher-selected prompt for the pilot.
Speak to the camera
Students practice on a Chromebook, iPad, or laptop — with privacy built right in.
Get real-time coaching
On-device face detection tracks eye contact; live transcription flags filler words and pacing — with kid-friendly encouragement.
Earn XP and badges
Streaks and achievements motivate the shipped browser demo; teacher review tools are being shaped with pilot partners.
Built for the way kids actually learn to speak.
On-device coaching signals
In-browser face detection tracks camera-facing eye contact. Live transcription surfaces filler words and words-per-minute. More signals — posture, volume, expression — are on the roadmap.
XP, badges & streaks
Rewards growth, not perfection. Designed with a child development specialist so kids come back tomorrow.
Six speaking activities
Age-appropriate prompts from kindergarten show-and-tell to fifth grade opinion speeches.
Teacher view (coming soon)
A classroom view that shows who's practicing and where they're stuck is in active development. Pilot teachers help shape it.
Growth over accent
We score progress over time, not a fixed speech target — designed with ELL and speech differences in mind. Spanish prompts are on the near-term roadmap.
Every activity maps to Common Core SL.K–SL.5.
Meet your speaking & listening standards without building a single rubric. Activities map to each substandard so teachers can review practice evidence without inventing a new rubric.
The video never leaves the device. Period.
Face detection runs locally in the browser. Student video is never uploaded, stored, or transmitted. The one caveat we disclose plainly: Chrome's built-in Web Speech API streams audio to Google for transcription — we describe that in plain English on our privacy page.
One product. Different superpowers for each role.
Give every student the practice the whole class needs.
- ✓Choose a prompt — every kid can practice in the browser demo.
- ✓Use pilot evidence for filler words, eye contact, and pacing without live video monitoring.
- ✓Progress exports are roadmap work for paid pilots, not a current shipped claim.
- ✓No lesson prep: ready-to-use activities that map to SL.K–SL.5.
Designed for the three people in every K–5 speaking moment.
Low-stakes reps in a private space. No stage, no peers watching — just the student, the prompt, and a friendly coach.
Designed to fit a 5-minute warm-up slot. No new grading pile, no lesson re-write, no curriculum retraining required.
Browser-based, no install, and student video never leaves the device. Plain-English privacy page and a DPA on request.
Priced for classrooms. Scaled for districts.
Pilot pricing is indicative while we validate the classroom workflow. Paid plans will spell out which teacher tools and privacy documents are ready before any conversion.

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. For paid deployments we're adding Google Workspace for Education sign-in; Clever and ClassLink rostering are on the roadmap.
Does the video really never leave the device?
Correct. Face detection runs locally in the browser. Student video is never uploaded, stored, or shared. The one caveat: live speech-to-text in Chrome uses the browser's built-in Web Speech API, which streams audio to Google for transcription — same as any Chromebook dictation. 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.
