What's new on SonSpeak
Recent shipped updates. Nothing dropped, nothing left behind.
- July 2026
A demo you can actually play with — and it looks like the real thing
The home page now shows the real board your child would hold: a full 6×8 talking board on one screen, tiles that never move. Tap any tile to hear it, build a sentence, and press Speak. The "your photo" tiles are exactly where your family's own photos and your recorded voice go in the app.
- July 2026
Build a starter board by answering two questions
Tell us your child's age and how many words they use today, and a starter board comes together in seconds — the right words for where they are, with room to grow. No setup, and no account needed just to try it.
- July 2026
Animated helpers on the tricky words
Words like hi, bye, stop, and help now have a friendly little character that waves, puts a hand out, or reaches — a gentle cue for kids who read a gesture faster than a word. It calms down automatically if your device prefers reduced motion.
- July 2026
Invite a therapist or school — you approve every change
Therapists and school teams can connect by invite and suggest changes, or send a ready-made classroom board. Nothing ever lands on your child's device unless you accept it and send it there yourself. You hold every key.
- May 2026
Outside the US? Join the international waitlist
We added an in-app waitlist for visitors outside the United States. Pick your country, drop your email, and we'll let you know the moment SonSpeak opens there. Top-bar language picker (EN / ES / FR) lands at the same time so the message reaches you in your language.
- May 2026
Built-in school-day structure
Tiles can now be marked Anytime, Home only, or School only — and SonSpeak quietly tucks distracting tiles away during school hours (Mon–Fri 8a–3p, parent-adjustable). Big calm cue at the top of the board lets your kid know school mode is on.
- May 2026
Helper invites by email + activity log
Inviting a grandparent, therapist, or school staff now sends a one-tap accept email. Helpers get their own list of every tile change they've suggested with current decision status — pending parent, pending clinical, approved, rejected.
- May 2026
Family Notes — one-way parent → child banners
Send a calm, single-message banner that lands on your child's board mid-school-day. Eight quick presets ("I love you", "Pickup at 3", "Big hug"…), no replies, no chat thread — sacred channel.
- May 2026
Privacy-first design, end-to-end
Privacy Dashboard at /privacy/me lets you see every helper, audit every action, export your child's communication history, and delete everything in one tap. No marketing trackers, no third-party data sale.
- May 2026
Tier upgrade prompts that don't blame the user
Hit a members-only feature? You see a calm in-context modal explaining what Membership includes — never a hard wall, no broken page, no error toast.
- April 2026
Therapist multi-client dashboard
Speech therapists can manage every client board from one screen, push share-links in batch, and export shareable CSV/PDF usage snapshots for caregiver conversations.
