Summary:

SpeakTX, an Estonian digital speech therapy platform, has embarked on a transformative journey to automate the creation of personalized speech therapy plans using artificial intelligence. The AI model developed aims to generate individualized exercise programs for home users based on initial assessments or self-evaluations. These plans reflect each user’s specific developmental needs and therapy modalities. For professional users, the system is envisioned as a time-saving assistant, while for independent users it offers the possibility to access therapy in regions where traditional services are lacking. The initiative holds significant promise for markets such as Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—regions with limited access to speech therapy, especially in smaller language communities. The AI component will undergo rigorous validation, comparing its generated plans with those designed by human therapists and incorporating their feedback. SpeakTX plans to scale its offering to broader B2C audiences, potentially pioneering AI-powered speech therapy as a scalable, affordable, and inclusive digital-first service.
