Why Speakli

Why families choose Speakli

Fun enough that kids keep showing up, personal to each child, and safe by design.

Fun enough to come back to

  • Characters with real personality and role-plays pulled from actual school life keep kids motivated.
  • Short sessions that fit between soccer and dinner — it's OK to stumble.
Pepper laughing

Personal to every kid

  • Topics and difficulty adapt to your child's interests, age, and level — separate bands for elementary, middle, and high school.
  • Specific, actionable feedback after every session, informed by published speech-development research. See our evidence base →
Luna teaching

Safe, and you stay in the loop

  • A judgement-free space with safe content and human-reviewed guardrails.
  • COPPA, GDPR-K, and FERPA compliant. No ads, no training on your kid's data, every transcript visible to you.

1 · Pick a scenario

Open the daily plan and accept today's pick, or browse the library for something between an easy win and a little scary.

2 · Talk it out

A full voice-to-voice conversation with one of the characters — no typing, no setup. Just click Start and speak for about five minutes.

3 · Get your rubric

The moment they hang up: a letter grade on clarity, structure, tone, and listening, with timestamped quotes and one coaching drill on the weakest spot.

Scenarios

Real moments. Real conversations.

Topics from the actual life of an 8-to-18-year-old — explaining, defending opinions, getting to know people — each paired with a partner whose personality fits the format.

Featured · this week Level 3
Which school subject should get more time — and which should get less?
Make your case to Luna: one subject deserves more hours, one deserves fewer. She'll challenge your reasoning — be ready to defend both picks.
Group discussionLevel 2
What makes a great group partner?

FAQ

The questions parents actually ask us.

Didn't see yours? Email hi@speakli.app and a real human will answer within a day.

Is my child talking to a real AI? What's it trained on?

Yes, each character is a large-language-model persona running on tightly scoped prompts — with a safety layer on top, and scenarios and feedback designed to conform to published child-development research. Conversations are not used to train foundation models. Your child's voice and transcripts stay in your account.

What age range is this for?

8 to 18. We tune scenarios, vocabulary, and pacing by age band so younger kids and teens both get age-appropriate practice. Accounts are per-kid.

How is this different from ChatGPT voice?

ChatGPT voice is open-ended chat. Speakli is a structured practice loop: every session ends with rubric-based feedback and a targeted coaching drill on whatever skill needs work, so kids actually build speaking skills over time instead of just talking.

What will it cost?

Free to get started — audio practice with full feedback and a few sessions each week, no payment required. For more practice there are two monthly plans: Audio ($8.99/mo) with 30 speaking sessions a month, and Avatar ($17.99/mo) which adds up to 10 live video-avatar sessions (5 minutes each) on top of the 30 monthly sessions. Caps reset every month and you can cancel any time — see the pricing section for details.

What if my child has a speech or language difference?

It's not part of Speakli yet — we're planning to co-design dedicated support with certified speech-language pathologists. If this describes your family and you'd like to help shape that work, email hi@speakli.app.
