For schools & districts
K–5 speaking practice that takes student data seriously.
Bright Speaker is built for the realities of your Chromebook program: browser-based, no install for the demo, and a private-by-design architecture that keeps student video on the device. Managed sign-in is roadmap work, not a shipped promise.
The path from one classroom to a district license
We don't expect a district to buy a speaking tool they haven't seen in a classroom. Here's how we work with schools today.
- 01
Free classroom pilot
A single teacher runs Bright Speaker with one class for 30 days. We provide onboarding and sit down with them at day 30 to review what worked. - 02
Building rollout
If the pilot clears, we scope a building rollout together — more classrooms, shared prompts, and admin/reporting needs become pilot-partner roadmap items while compliance is reviewed. - 03
District license
Per-student annual pricing is indicative until written into a paid offer. Managed sign-in, roster import, district reporting, and formal DPA templates are roadmap/commercial work.
What we do with student data
Short version: we minimize what we collect, we don't upload video, and we won't make compliance claims we can't back up. The longer version lives on our privacy & data page.
Video never leaves the device
The webcam stream is processed in the browser. It is not uploaded, not stored, not shared. Video never leaves the device. Spoken audio goes to the browser's speech service (Google, Microsoft or Apple, depending on the browser) to make the live transcript.
Minimum viable data
In the browser demo, transcripts, scores, badges, and timestamps stay local to the device. If school accounts ship later, we'll document the storage model before any deployment relies on it.
Managed sign-in is on the roadmap
The browser demo does not require student accounts. Google Workspace sign-in is planned for paid and district pilots after privacy and account-flow review.
DPA review before paid deployments
We can work through your district's DPA requirements before a paid rollout. We won't imply a standard DPA, certification, or legal artifact is already complete.
The questions we hear most
Does Bright Speaker work on our Chromebooks?
Yes. The app runs in Chrome, uses the student's webcam and microphone, and needs no installs or extensions. We recommend Chromebooks made in the last 4 years; older models can run it but may show a slight lag on the camera-alignment check.
How does sign-in work?
Today, the public demo works in the browser without student accounts. Managed Google Workspace sign-in is on the paid/district roadmap and will not be promised as live until it has been reviewed and shipped.
What happens to the student video?
It stays on the student's device. The camera stream is used in the browser to check that the student's face is centered in frame, and it's discarded when the session ends. We never upload, store, or share student video.
Is the AI feedback safe for kids?
Today, our feedback is rule-based — specific, warm, and kid-appropriate by design. Before we ship any LLM-generated feedback to students, we review the output shape with K–5 teachers. Feedback is about the speaking, not the speaker.
What does a pilot cost?
Nothing during the pilot window. When we publish commercial pricing, it's designed for building budgets — not enterprise SaaS.
Can we sign a DPA?
We can review DPA language before any paid deployment. For pilots, tell us if a DPA is a pre-pilot requirement and we'll be clear about what we can support now versus what needs legal/compliance work.
Talk to us about a pilot
The fastest way to evaluate Bright Speaker is to watch a classroom use it for 30 days. We'll handle setup, the teacher walkthrough, and the day-30 review. Pilots are free.
