K-12 speaking practice that takes student data seriously.
Bright Speaker is built for the realities of your Chromebook program: browser-based, no install, Google Workspace for Education sign-in, and a private-by-design architecture that keeps student video on the device.
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.
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.
Building rollout
If the pilot clears, we expand to the building — more classrooms, shared prompts, and a building admin seat. Still free while we work through compliance with your district.
District license
Per-student annual pricing designed for building budgets. Includes a signed DPA, Google Workspace for Education SSO, roster provisioning, and named support.
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. Every speaking session is private to the student.
Minimum viable data
We store what we need to show a student their progress: transcripts, scores, badges, timestamps. We don't ask for a birthdate, a phone number, or a home address.
Sign in with Google Workspace for Education
Your students use the school account they already have. No new password, no student-facing email collection outside your domain.
DPA-ready for paid deployments
We will sign a data privacy agreement aligned with your district's standards — NDPA, SDPC, or your local variant — before a paid deployment goes live.
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 eye-contact analysis.
How does sign-in work?+
Teachers and students sign in with their Google Workspace for Education accounts. We do not create separate Bright Speaker passwords. A district admin can restrict access to their managed domain.
What happens to the student video?+
It stays on the student's device. The camera stream is used for live eye-contact feedback in the browser, 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-12 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?+
Yes, before any paid deployment. For pilots, we'll work with your team if a DPA is a pre-pilot requirement, using a template aligned with your district's standards.
Talk to us about a pilot
The fastest way to evaluate Bright Speaker is to watch a classroom use it for three weeks. We'll handle setup, the teacher walkthrough, and the day-30 review. Pilots are free.
