FAQ
School-age (8–18) spoken AI inside a parent-provisioned platform where voice uses the same monitoring as text and parents can review voice transcripts — not preschool voice-first, and not ChatGPT voice without parent conversation access.
On purpose-built family platforms, yes. On HeyOtto, parents review voice transcripts in Parent Dashboard — the same parent loop as text. ChatGPT voice still hides chats from parents.
No. HeyOtto is text-first: kids type and read first. Voice is available when it helps (language practice, brainstorming, presentation rehearsal, hands-free) inside the same monitored platform.
Preschool voice-first apps (for example Askie) often target younger or pre-reader users with stories and bedtime framing. That is a different age-band job from an 8–18 platform with homework, research, and parent transcripts. See /askie-vs-heyotto — age-band split only.
ChatGPT voice runs on adult ChatGPT. Parental controls after a parent–teen link still do not give parents full conversation access, and a teen can unlink. Soft links: parental controls for ChatGPT and Is ChatGPT safe for kids.
On HeyOtto, yes — same monitoring, age rules, alerts, and topic limits as text. Parents review voice transcripts in Parent Dashboard.
