Clinician-guided speech intelligence
Make practice between sessions measurable.
Articu helps speech-language pathologists assign targeted speech practice, analyze productions at the phoneme level, and review the attempts that need clinical judgment—so what happens outside the session is easier to see.
Built for clinician-guided practice—not to replace clinical judgment.
| Client | Target | Practice days | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emma R. | /ɹ/ initial | 5 | 6 need review |
| Leo K. | /s/ final | 3 | Likely on target |
| Ava M. | /l/ medial | 4 | Needs review |
The between-session gap
The session ends. Practice continues. Visibility usually doesn't.
Families leave with goals to practice. Children repeat the targets. But clinicians often return to the next session with little structured information about what happened in between. Articu connects that gap without turning every practice attempt into another manual task.
Families need clear practice
Follow the clinician’s target without needing to score every sound.
SLPs need selective review
Spend attention where clinical judgment adds value—not on every repetition.
Progress needs context
See practice activity and reviewed production patterns over time.
How Articu works
You set the target. Articu connects the rest.
Four steps that keep the clinician in control and the practice connected to the plan.
Assign
Choose the target sound, word position, practice level and schedule.
Practice
The patient completes short guided sessions between visits.
Review
Articu structures supported speech signals and routes uncertain attempts for clinician review.
Continue
Use the information to plan the next session and the next assignment.
Speech intelligence, not just speech-to-text
“Rabbit” is not enough. How it was produced matters.
General speech recognition is designed to understand the intended word. Articu is being built to preserve the sound-level detail that matters in speech practice.
Model finding: possible /ɹ/ → /w/ substitution. Low confidence — routed to the clinician review queue instead of an automatic result.
Illustrative example. Released analysis capabilities are documented on the Science page.
Human-in-the-loop
When the model is uncertain, it should ask—not guess.
Child speech is variable. Speech errors are variable. Recording conditions are variable. Articu treats uncertainty as part of the workflow: low-confidence or ambiguous attempts are routed to the clinician instead of silently becoming a definitive score.
Review is not a failure state. It is part of the workflow.
Progress over time
Move beyond “Did you practice?”
See practice days, attempts completed, assigned targets, review queue size and clinician-confirmed labels—then open the supporting recording when context matters.
Aggregate patterns are always traceable to supporting attempts. Raw model scores are never presented as clinical progress.
For patients & families
Short practice. Clear targets. Less guesswork at home.
Patients see the work their clinician assigned—not a generic speech course. Families see what is due and what was completed. Clinicians see what came back.
Your SLP will see today’s practice.
Your SLP sets the plan. Articu helps you follow it.
Practice can grow with the skill.
Clinicians choose the level that matches the patient rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all practice sequence.
Parents support the practice. They don't have to score the speech.
Parents should not need specialist listening skills to help with home practice. Articu keeps the assignment simple, shows what was completed, and sends useful practice information back to the SLP.
For clinicians
Review what matters. Skip what doesn't.
Assign precise targets, monitor between-session activity, review uncertain productions and bring structured practice information into the next session.
Assignment Builder
Choose target sound, position, level, word set and schedule.
Review Queue
Prioritize low-confidence or clinically relevant attempts.
Progress Timeline
View practice and reviewed production patterns over time.
Session Intelligence
Structure trials, cue levels and notes into reusable clinical data.
The same structure can follow the patient into the session.
Structured session data can support progress summaries and documentation drafts—after the clinician reviews the underlying information.
AI-assisted draft — clinician review required.
Articu Languages
Not translated. Localized.
Speech development cannot be localized by translating an English word list. Each language has its own phoneme inventory, word structures, developmental expectations, dialect variation and clinical context.
- Phoneme inventory
- Word-position rules
- Developmental references
- Dialect-aware configuration
Roadmap status — not a production support claim.

Science & validation
Research, not hype.
We believe clinical speech AI should publish what was tested, who labeled it, where it works, where it struggles, how often it defers to human review, and which model version produced the result.
Purpose-built evaluation
Measure the speech tasks Articu is actually used for—not generic ASR benchmarks.
Clinician comparison
Compare model output with trained SLP judgments.
Publish uncertainty
Report where the system performs well, where it struggles and how often human review is required.
Privacy by design
A child's voice is sensitive data. Treat it that way.
Articu's privacy model is designed to make it easy to understand what is recorded, why it is processed, how long it is retained, who can access it, and whether it can ever be used for model improvement.
Data minimization
Collect only what the practice workflow requires.
Clear retention
Explain when raw audio is deleted and when a clinician explicitly chooses to retain it.
Training choice
Do not silently turn therapy recordings into training data.
Access control
Keep child, caregiver, clinician and organization permissions separate.
Built with clinicians, not just for them.
Articu is in pre-launch design-partner stage. Our proof comes from the clinicians shaping the workflow with us—not from invented logos or numbers.
