Better Speech

Better Speech is an online speech therapy platform for people of all ages, offering convenient, effective and affordable help with communication challenges. The service combines AI technology with licensed speech therapists to help people overcome speech disorders including speech delay, stuttering, post-stroke recovery and more.

Better Speech uses AI to augment therapy with its digital assistant, Jessica, who's available 24/7 to offer customized exercises and engage patients in interactive activities. The technology can help people progress more quickly between sessions with a speech therapist.

Among Better Speech's features are:

• Personalized Programs: Customized plans for each patient's specific needs and goals.
• Interactive Sessions: Live Zoom sessions with licensed therapists, augmented by AI-powered exercises.
• Unlimited Practice: Unlimited speech practice between sessions to help people progress.
• Easy Scheduling: Online scheduling with flexible hours, including evenings and weekends.
• Insurance Compatibility: Acceptance of insurance, FSA/HSA and Medicare Advantage to help make therapy more accessible.

Better Speech costs $69.95 per week, which includes four sessions. That's a relatively low price compared with in-person therapy, and the service offers a more flexible option than traditional in-person therapy.

Better Speech is designed for people, children and adults who want to improve communication skills, including those with stuttering, apraxia, voice disorders and other issues. The service also can be used by schools and school districts that want to help students with speech challenges.

With technology and expert therapists, Better Speech hopes to make speech therapy convenient, engaging and effective for a broad population.
