Deal with University of Oregon will see SoapBox’s technology used to assess reading fluency

“The collaboration between SoapBox Labs and BRT provides an innovative partnership of research to practice, so teachers can move from data collection to data use in helping students learn to read.”

SoapBox has developed voice technology aimed at young voices and educational use cases, that can accurately understand children’s unique speech patterns, differences in accents or dialects, and power early literacy and language tools. “We are thrilled to be partnering with the College of Education at the University of Oregon, which has long been a pioneer in advancing the field’s understanding of how we learn to read, as well as the development of effective tools that put that research into practice,” said Martyn Farrows, chief executive at SoapBox Labs.

SoapBox Labs has signed a number of deals to grow the reach of its technology, including a multiyear deal with educational publisher Scholastic and US-based Imagine Learning. The company was last year awarded the first product certification to an educational technology company that focuses on equity in the design of artificial intelligence systems: Prioritising Racial Equity in AI Design. It serves as an indicator for education stakeholders and families that products recognise the importance of mitigating racial bias in new learning tools and technologies.
