Quick check
Shorter, lighter sessions. Good for busy weeks or easing back in after a break.
Speech Check is a guided speech-practice and self-monitoring tool for people living with Parkinson's, including young-onset Parkinson's.
We think the experience is close — but before we widen access, we want final input from members whose feedback could lead to meaningful improvements in motivation, engagement, and daily use.
Getting started is meant to feel easy — not like signing up for a study. Here's the whole first session.
A few basics — name, time zone, how you'd like us to reach you. Nothing clinical. Five minutes at the kitchen table.
A short, guided baseline session. It sets a reference point for how your own voice tracks over time — only ever compared to you.
Pick a program card that fits how you'd like to practise. It shapes your daily sessions — and you can change it any time.
That's it for day one. From there, you practise at the pace that fits your life — a few short sessions a week, on days that work for you. We'll be in touch now and then, but nothing about the pilot requires you to keep to a strict schedule.
Early in the pilot, members can choose from a set of program cards that shape the style and mix of each day's practice. These aren't fixed pathways — they're a way to keep practice feeling varied and manageable.
Shorter, lighter sessions. Good for busy weeks or easing back in after a break.
A balanced mix of guided reading, sustained sounds, and short conversation prompts.
Leans into loudness and clarity work, with prompts that build up across the week.
Focused on real-life conversation — calls, ordering, chatting with family and friends.
You can switch guides at any time. Nothing is locked in. The point is to help each day's practice feel right for where you are that week — not to slot you into a fixed program.
We believe Speech Check is close to being ready for broader release. But member feedback at this stage could still lead to important improvements — the kind of changes that come from real people using a tool in their real lives, not from internal testing.
We're especially interested in:
Honest feedback is the whole point. You don't need to be a perfect participant — you just need to use it and tell us what you notice.
Care partners and family members are part of the picture — and the pilot is also helping us understand what kind of support actually helps in real life.
Members with Parkinson's, including young-onset Parkinson's, often have a partner, family member, or friend who helps out in small or large ways. That's part of what we want to learn more about during the pilot.
We're curious about questions like:
None of this is required. Speech Check is designed so members can use it on their own. But if you have someone who wants to be involved, we'd love to hear how that shows up in real life.
No credit card, no forms that feel like a clinical intake. Just a short sign-up, your promo code, and you're in.
Your community group or coordinator may share a pilot promo code with you. Enter it when creating your account to unlock free access.
Nothing during the pilot. Free access is unlocked with your community promo code, and no credit card is required.
No. The pilot is designed so members can get started on their own. The broader platform is also being built to support SLP-guided exercise programming and remote monitoring between sessions — but none of that is needed for you to begin.
Yes. We welcome members living with Parkinson's, including young-onset Parkinson's. There isn't a separate program — it's the same Speech Check, and your feedback is just as valuable.
Yes. Care partners are welcome to help with setup, practise alongside, or simply encourage consistency. The pilot is also helping us understand what kind of support actually helps in real life, so if a care partner is involved in your practice, we'd love to hear how that works for you.
That is completely fine. We want honest real-life use, not perfect attendance. Life happens — colds, travel, bad days. Pick it back up when you're ready.
Recordings stay on Canadian servers and are encrypted in transit. They're only used to improve Speech Check with your permission, and you can delete your data at any time. We never sell data. Full details are in the consent page you'll see before joining.
You'll have had full access for the pilot period. After that, we'll share where Speech Check is headed — whether that's a paid consumer product, a clinician-connected tool, or something that's changed meaningfully based on what you told us.
This pilot focuses on the member version of Speech Check. It's one part of a broader platform being developed to also support speech-language pathologists with remote monitoring, prescribed exercises, and intensity adjustments between clinical sessions.
Speech Check is a speech-practice and self-monitoring platform. It helps members build a routine, reflect on how their speech is changing over time, and practise with greater confidence.
It is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace care from a speech-language pathologist or other healthcare professional. If you have concerns about your speech or health, please talk to your care team.
