The legend of the pebble
Every great voice starts with one pebble.
Long ago in Athens, a boy named Demosthenes struggled to get his words out. Legend says he practiced every day, pebble by pebble, until the whole city stopped to listen. PebbleSpeak brings that kind of steady, daily practice home, with Pip as the guide.
Small practice, every day, stacks up.
Programs
One path for each voice
Each program is short, daily and built around a grown-up who cares. Pick the one you're here for.
Ages 3 and 4
Sound Play
A sound check and a hop game with Pip for early sounds like K and G. A grown-up sits beside the child and taps what they hear.
Ages 6 to 12 who say W for R
R Practice
A quick R check, then about ten minutes of practice on seven levels. From age 9, children who hear their own R can practice on their own, and the family listens to their tries later.
Kids with selective mutism
Brave Talk
A calm buddy and short practice chats that climb one small step at a time, from a tap to a real conversation. A tap, a hum or a whisper always counts.
Kids with voice strain
Easy VoiceEarly demo
A daily voice check-in, a loudness meter and gentle swaps for yelling and hard throat clearing, with a kid-friendly guide to vocal nodules.
Adults after a stroke
Speech Coach
Five minutes a day on an iPad: a friendly chat, one measured reading, and progress the family can see and hear.
For speech therapists
More practice between sessions. You stay in charge.
Progress comes from practice, and most of it has to happen at home. PebbleSpeak makes that practice happen, and shows you how it went.
Practice every day, not once a week
Children practice at home with Pip between your sessions, with a grown-up beside them or, for older kids, on their own.
It listens closely
Speech AI scores each sound in the background, and the grown-up's tap is always the final word.
You see what happened
A private link shows the results, progress by week and the recordings, so you can hear the tries that matter in minutes.
Families find their way to you
Results say plainly when to see a speech therapist, with a letter for asking the school.
Brave Talk began when a speech-language pathologist who specializes in selective mutism asked for a version for her clients.
R Practice in about a minute and a half: the check, a session, and the therapist's link.
Safe for every step
Built for parents to trust
A grown-up is always in the loop
Children practice with a grown-up nearby, and families see every check and session.
Private by default
Families choose what gets recorded and can delete recordings any time. Links to share are private and can be turned off.
A support, never a replacement
Built from speech research to support a child's speech therapist, not to replace one. Not a medical device.
Why a pebble?
One pebble at a time.
Demosthenes didn't become the greatest speaker in Athens in a day. He got there through small, steady practice. Every PebbleSpeak program is built the same way: short, daily, and a little stronger each time.
