Application Capabilities

The platform supports home-based educational practice guided by AI and designed around the parent–child relationship.

Echolalia Detection

Classifies immediate vs delayed echolalia patterns in real-time voice sessions, giving parents actionable context about their child's communication.

AI Coaching Prompts

Generates parent-directed prompts based on session context. No anthropomorphic AI persona — the parent is always the coach.

14-Day Learning Plan

Structured daily practice schedule adapted to your child's patterns. Progress tracked across sessions with visual dashboards.

Observe Mode

Record and analyze longer natural conversations. AI identifies echolalia patterns and suggests follow-up strategies with SLP-informed context.

Privacy-First

Audio is never stored after transcription. Zero PHI retention. FERPA-style data controls. Built for families who trust us with sensitive moments.

Native PWA

Installable as a native app on iOS and Android. Works as a home screen app with offline capability — no app store required.

Application Flow

The application organizes practice around three simple steps.

1
Start a Session

Open the app, choose Practice or Observe mode. The AI listens only during the active session — nothing is stored beforehand.

2
AI Analyzes Patterns

Speech is transcribed and classified. The AI identifies whether echolalia is immediate or delayed and provides coaching context for the parent.

3
Review & Progress

View session insights, track progress on your 14-day plan, and follow up with your SLP using session summaries. No PHI is retained after the session.
