About Articarry

An honest account of a young tool

Articarry is an independent, early-stage project. It is small on purpose, and it would rather tell you that plainly than dress itself up. Here is where it came from and where it actually is.

Why it exists

A speech-language pathologist assigns home practice and then loses sight of it. A parent does their best and reports back from memory. The next session begins with a quiet guess about what happened in between. Articarry was built to close that one gap — to turn the guess into a plain record of what was practiced.

It was also built in reaction to a temptation. Software that touches a child's speech is forever tempted to grade it — to hand a clinician a number and call the number insight. That shortcut is easy to build and easy to sell, and it is a mistake. Articarry is the deliberate opposite: it shows what happened and stops there.

What stage it is at

Articarry is in a private beta. It is used by a small group of speech-language pathologists working with consenting families, and it is still being shaped by what they tell us. It is not a finished product, and this site does not pretend it is one.

Some pieces are deliberately not built yet — the binding privacy and terms documents are in preparation with proper review, and pricing is not switched on. Where something is unfinished, the site says so rather than papering over it.

The two rules underneath everything

No grading of a child's speech

No screen, for the child or the clinician, calls a child's speech a grade or a level. This is checked by the build itself: language that reads as a clinical finding fails the test suite and cannot ship.

The clinician keeps the judgment

Articarry records and organizes. Every interpretive question — what a recording means, what to do next — belongs to the clinician, and the product is built so it stays there.

Read the part we are most careful about

The evidence page is where a young tool is most tempted to overclaim. It is the page we wrote most slowly.
