SoapBox Labs

SoapBox Labs is an award-winning voice technology company specializing in the development of automated speech recognition (ASR) for kids. Founded in 2013 by speech engineer and scientist Dr. Patricia Scanlon, the SoapBox Labs team has an accumulated 100 years of speech recognition experience, and is responsible for 11 patents and over 100 internationally peer-reviewed publications. 

SoapBox Labs has spent the last 7 years researching and developing the world’s most accurate, age-appropriate and privacy-driven voice technology for kids. From the very beginning they have also invested in a privacy-by-design approach to their data and technology that is transparent and that protects kids’ voice data completely. They are also fully COPPA and GDPR compliant. SoapBox Labs has a unique relationship with their customers in the education and entertainment industries, a relationship built on trust that their kids’ voice data will never be shared or sold to third parties, and never used to profile individuals for marketing purposes.
