Voiceitt vs. Read&Write: Writing Data-Supported IEP Goals

By: Dr. Rachel Khasky-Levy, SLPD, CCC-SLP In short: standard speech-to-text tools like Google Read&Write run on a general recognition engine trained on typical speech, so word error rates can run very high for students with dysarthria, apraxia, or other atypical speech patterns. Voiceitt trains on the student’s own voice instead, which can meaningfully lower that […]

Voiceitt and Apraxia: When Can It Work?

Voiceitt can support individuals with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), though success depends on sufficient speech consistency for the system to learn. While apraxia is a motor planning disorder that often results in variable errors, disrupted prosody, and reduced intelligibility—especially for unfamiliar listeners—speech is not random, and many individuals demonstrate consistent patterns within certain phonemic contexts, familiar phrases, or word structures. Because Voiceitt is a personalized speech recognition system that learns a user’s unique productions rather than comparing them to standard pronunciation, it may approximate the level of understanding achieved by familiar listeners. Training may require more recordings, careful phrase selection, and patience early on, and progress is often non-linear. Voiceitt can become a meaningful communication support that increases independence and reduces communication breakdowns, provided expectations are realistic, and progress is measured thoughtfully.
