About us
SoapBox Labs’ speech recognition caters to the idiosyncrasies and unique speech patterns of children's speech. Our voice engine is unique, proprietary and built from the ground up for kids' voices specifically, ages 2 and up. SoapBox powers Prek-12 literacy, language and math assessment and instruction tools for kids of every accent, dialect and stage of development. We are an equity and privacy first company, and the first AI company in the world to earn a certification for "Prioritizing Racial Bias in AI Design" from Digital Promise. In November 2023, SoapBox Labs was acquired by leading US education company, Curriculum Associates (CA). Over the coming months and years, SoapBox will voice-enable CA's award winning portfolio of literacy and math learning tools, and continue our mission to make teaching and learning easier, and to improve educational outcomes for every child in every classroom.

At Curriculum Associates, our mission goes beyond the classroom—it’s about creating meaningful change for students, educators, and the communities we serve. Recently, our leadership team and India team members had the opportunity to spend the day with the students and faculty at Ramagondanahalli Government School. We were thrilled to support the school’s library, helping foster a love for reading and learning, and to paint a vibrant mural on the school wall, bringing color and inspiration to the space. It was a day full of connection and creativity, reminding us of the impact we can make when we come together as a community. #InsideCAIndia #FacesOfCA #EdTechIndia Rob Waldron Kelly Sia Rajeev Kapoor
