For UK schools
Every young person has something worth saying. Minivox is where they say it.
A closed, safeguarding-first platform where pupils complete spoken and creative tasks set by their teachers, get feedback on them, and keep the work so progress can be seen over time. No likes, no algorithm, no strangers.
- Closed to the outside world
- Teacher approves before anything is seen
- No likes, no comments, no feed that chooses
- Work is kept, not lost
- Built in Sheffield for UK schools
Every young person has something worth saying. The challenge is not finding their voice. It is giving them somewhere they feel confident enough to use it.
Minivox is a closed, safeguarding-first platform where pupils complete spoken and creative tasks set by their teachers: a two-minute explanation, a podcast, a story, a presentation. No likes, no algorithm, no strangers. The teacher sets the task, hears the work, approves a first response, and the work is kept.
Oracy is hard to teach consistently and even harder to evidence, and with the new curriculum landing in 2028, schools will need to do both. Minivox keeps the work and shows progress over time, so a child's growing confidence becomes something a teacher, a leader and a parent can actually see.
The world does not need more content. It needs more confident communicators.
Why now
Talk is about to count.
Oracy has its own section in the Curriculum and Assessment Review, the government has committed to a national oracy framework, and spoken language is more prominent in the curriculum every school teaches from September 2028. The evidence is strong: the Education Endowment Foundation rates oral language approaches as high impact for very low cost, around six months' additional progress, strongest in primary. The sector's own Oracy Education Commission says the gap is progression, which nobody yet measures.
How it works
Set it. Say it. Hear it. See it.
A teacher sets a spoken task
In any subject, in a few minutes: explain the water cycle, retell the chapter, argue the other side, brief the team.
A pupil completes it
Voice, video, podcast or a story, from a school device or at home. The audience is their class and their teacher, nobody else.
It comes back with a first pass
Voxi, the Minivox guide, gives a first response the pupil can act on. The teacher hears it, adjusts it, and approves it. Nothing is seen by anyone until the teacher says so.
The work is kept
September beside July, one pupil, one class, one school. The leader's picture of progress in talk, which no school has had before.

Who it is for
Built for schools first.
Primary schools and trusts leading on literacy through talk. Inclusion leads with pupils who can say what they cannot yet write. English and oracy leads who need to show progress, not just hear it. And the programmes that bring schools together, from a city-wide challenge to a book club.
