Disclaimer.

Daily Out Loud is not a medical device, not a diagnostic tool, not therapy, not mental-health treatment, and not professional speech coaching. The drills and practice sessions are designed for self-guided practice. We do not claim any clinical outcome.

If you have a question about your voice, your speech, your child's speech, your mental health, or your wellbeing — please talk to a qualified professional. Daily Out Loud is a place to practice, not a place to be diagnosed.

The kids activities draw on evidence-based speech-language-pathology techniques — but they are not a substitute for evaluation or treatment by a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). If a child shows persistent speech, language, or communication difficulties, please consult a qualified professional. These activities work best alongside an SLP, not instead of one.

When a drill counts your filler words, measures your words-per-minute, or tracks how long it took you to start speaking — those numbers are rough, browser-side approximations. They are intended for self-reflection and habit-building. They are not a diagnosis. A clinical-grade evaluation would use calibrated audio equipment, trained listeners, and validated instruments. We use a Web Audio API in your browser.

Audio recordings stay on your device by default. We do not upload your voice or your video. There is no cloud media sync today — when it ships, it will be explicit, opt-in, and optional.

Some drills use your browser's built-in speech recognition to provide live transcripts. Depending on your browser, that feature may transmit short snippets of audio to the browser vendor's speech provider. We do not store those transcripts. We do not send them anywhere ourselves. If this concerns you, you can use the drill without enabling transcription.

Prompts that invite affirmations, mantras, or self-talk are not promises. We cannot guarantee any health, career, relationship, or wellbeing outcome from saying anything out loud. The point is practice, not magic.

Daily Out Loud is provided as-is, with no warranties of any kind. We make no guarantee of accuracy, fitness for any particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or freedom from error. Use it because it is useful; stop using it if it is not.
