Frequently asked questions
The questions worth answering plainly
Split by who is asking. If the answer you need is not here, a child's clinician is the one to ask about anything to do with that child. If you are new to the idea, start with what articulation carryover tracking is.
For parents
Will my child see a score?
No. Your child never sees a grade, a mark, or a cross on their speech. They see a word to say and a picture to find.
How long does practice take?
A book is a short story on a handful of practice words, usually a few minutes. When the words are done, the activity is done. There is no feed and nothing built to keep a child scrolling.
Do I have to judge how my child sounds?
No. Listening to the recordings and deciding what they mean is the clinician's job. Your home view simply shows that practice is happening.
Can I stop, or have the recordings deleted?
Yes. You give consent before any recording happens, you can withdraw it at any time, and you can ask for the recordings to be deleted, no reason needed.
Is my child's voice sold, shared, or used to train AI?
No. Recordings are reachable only by your child's clinician. They are never sold, never shared with a third party, and never used to train any model that leaves Articarry. The children's privacy page explains this in full.
Do I need to sign up or create an account?
No. Your child's clinician sends you a link. You open it, read a plain explanation of what Articarry does, and give consent. There is no account for you to create on your own, and nothing to install.
What do we need to practice at home?
A phone, tablet, or computer with a microphone and a web browser. There is nothing to download. Your child taps to hear a word, then taps once to say it.
For clinicians
Does Articarry grade or score a child's speech?
No. Articarry never puts a grade on a child's speech. It records what was practiced, lets you hear every recording, and marks a word as worth a listen: a cue for your ear, never a verdict.
How can I tell whether a child is practicing articulation at home?
Articarry records the home practice you assign and shows what happened between sessions. How many of the assigned days a child practiced, and on which target sounds. The next session starts from a record rather than a guess. You can walk a sample caseload without an account to see what that looks like.
How do I track speech practice between sessions?
You assign the practice, the child records it at home, and the recordings come back to you tied to the specific target sound. Articarry shows the adherence, meaning how often practice happened, per phoneme, so the days between sessions are visible.
Is there a tool for articulation carryover in private practice?
Articarry is built for it. A per-phoneme record of the home practice a clinician assigns, kept as recordings between sessions, with every clinical judgment left to the clinician. It is in private beta for private-practice SLPs.
What can a parent see, and what can I see?
A parent's home view shows only that practice is happening. No score, no judgment. The per-phoneme record and the recordings are visible to you and not to the parent. Every clinical decision is yours.
How much of my time does this take?
Assigning practice is a few clicks when you add a child or change a target. After that the work is listening. Today sorts your caseload by who needs your ear first, so you hear the words that were flagged rather than everything that came in. A child's week is a short listen, not an evening.
What do I have to ask the family to do?
Open a link and hand the child the device. There is no account for a parent to create and nothing to install: any phone, tablet or computer with a microphone and a browser works. The parent gives consent once, sees that practice is happening, and never sees a score.
How is this different from a paper homework log?
A paper log records that practice was attempted. It cannot hold what the practice sounded like, or which sound it was on. Articarry keeps the recordings, per target sound, so what happened between sessions is something you can hear. The sample caseload shows a worked week end to end.
Is Articarry a replacement for therapy?
No. Articarry organizes the home practice you assign and shows you what happened between sessions. The therapy, and every judgment about it, stays with you.
What does a per-word marker mean?
It points your attention. A word can be marked clear, worth a listen, or flagged for your ear. The marker is a cue to listen, not a finding. The recording itself is the evidence.
Where do the recordings go?
Recordings are stored securely and are reachable only by the child's clinician. A guardian can ask for them to be deleted at any time, and the consent that allows recording can be withdrawn at any time.
Can I use Articarry with real patients right now?
Not yet with identifiable patient audio. Articarry is in an internal beta, so today it is for synthetic, your own voice, or explicitly consented practice audio only. The infrastructure it runs on is covered by a Business Associate Agreement, and a guardian's consent is recorded before any recording is made. What remains is opening the beta itself. Ask us about beta access and we will walk you through what is and is not covered.
What does Articarry cost?
It is free during the internal beta. The pricing page shows the plans that will apply at general availability, so there are no surprises later. Nothing is charged while you are in the beta.
How do my patients' families get set up?
You add a child in a few steps, and Articarry gives you an invite link to send the family. They open it, give consent, and hand the child the device. There is nothing for them to install. The help center walks the whole flow step by step.
