For millions of children, speaking clearly isn’t easy. Whether it’s a speech challenge or learning a new language, struggling to communicate can be isolating. Kids may be misunderstood, left out, or even bullied, all because of the way they speak.
Sara Technology was created to change that. Designed by speech-language pathologists and built with engineers and AI researchers, Sara helps kids practice tricky sounds through personalized feedback and fun, gamified activities. Starting with content for the 10 most common sounds, Sara delivers engaging, tailored exercises that kids actually want to use. With more sounds and languages coming soon, Sara’s mission is simple: helping every child communicate with confidence and find their voice.
