PORTSMOUTH, NH, April 16, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Data Specialist today launched REWRITE, the first platform to measure personal growth through vocal biomarkers, entering a $3.72 billion market where the two leading consumer competitors have both shut down in the past 12 months.
The platform uses the Emotion Logic engine refined over 28 years of research at nine universities including Oxford, Duke and USC to process 151+ involuntary vocal signals and measure five dimensions: stress, confidence, engagement, cognitive load and authenticity. Users speak into the app across a 30-session coaching program and receive daily insight cards, weekly trend arcs and a transformation score that tracks measurable change over time.

Kintsugi Health, a venture-backed vocal biomarker startup, closed in February. Woebot Health, one of the first AI therapy chatbots, shut down in July 2025. No other company currently offers vocal biomarker coaching to consumers.

"Your voice knows before you do. That's not a tagline it's physiology," said Michael Berman, 77, founder of REWRITE and chief executive officer of Data Specialist. "I spent 50 years in marketing watching people tell you what they think you want to hear. Your vocal cords don't have that problem. We built the first tool that shows you whether you're actually changing."

REWRITE costs $29 per month less than $1 a day for vocal intelligence coaching. The first three sessions are free with no account or credit card required. BetterHelp, by comparison, charges $260 to $360 per month and offers no objective measurement of whether its users are improving.

All voice recordings are destroyed within 24 hours. REWRITE stores only numerical biomarker scores no audio, no transcripts. The platform is SOC2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant and EU AI Act aligned.

REWRITE is available now at rewrite.guru.

Data Specialist, based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, builds voice-powered consumer technology. Founded by Michael Berman, the company uses Emotion Logic's LVA7 engine to convert involuntary vocal signals into actionable personal insight. The underlying technology processes more than 200 million voice interactions monthly across 140 countries. REWRITE is available at rewrite.guru.
