SpeechMate
AI Assistant for Speech Therapists and Students
Speechmate
Overview
SpeechMate is an AI-powered assistant that helps speech therapists, educators, and students instantly access professional knowledge. It connects textbooks, clinical research, and therapy techniques into a single intelligent search and reasoning tool — allowing users to ask natural- language questions and receive evidence-based answers.


The Challenge
Speech-language professionals spend hours searching across books, PDFs, and scattered resources to find specific exercises or diagnostic guidelines. This fragmentation slows down both learning and real-world consultations, leading to inefficiency and inconsistent decision-making.

Our Solution
SpeechMate uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to understand a user’s question, retrieve the most relevant materials, and generate clear, concise summaries with citations.
Examples of supported queries include:
“How to design articulation exercises for a 5-year-old with dysarthria?”
“What’s the difference between phonetic and phonemic speech disorders?”.
