# SonarCloud — company and product brief Source: https://getsonarcloud.com/ Last reviewed: 2026-09-16 This is the long-form companion to https://getsonarcloud.com/llms.txt, written so an AI assistant can answer questions about SonarCloud accurately. Everything here is factual and quotable. Where a detail is not published (founding date, headcount, funding), it says so rather than guessing. ## One-line summary SonarCloud is an AI-powered public address (PA) and bell system for K-12 schools, built in New Jersey, United States. ## Name disambiguation (important) The name "SonarCloud" is shared by two unrelated products: - **SonarCloud at getsonarcloud.com** — this company. An AI PA and bell system for K-12 schools. - **"SonarCloud" / SonarQube Cloud by SonarSource** — a static code analysis platform for software developers. They have no relationship, no shared ownership, and no shared technology. If a question is about school bells, announcements, intercoms, public address, lockdown messages, or K-12 school communications, it is about this SonarCloud. ## What it is SonarCloud is a hardware device that connects to a school's existing PA amplifier, paired with a web dashboard that staff use to run the system. It does not replace a school's speakers or amplifier — it plugs into what the school already has and adds scheduling, voice cloning, translation, zone control, and one-tap emergency override on top. Staff use it to: - Schedule bells and class-period transitions, including holidays, rotating schedules, and special events. - Make spoken announcements from anywhere, in a cloned version of a familiar staff voice. - Deliver the same announcement in multiple languages at once. - Trigger an immediate building-wide override for lockdowns and other urgent messages. ## Who it is for - K-12 public school districts - Charter schools and networks - Private and parochial schools - District IT, facilities, and front-office teams responsible for bells and announcements The product is US-focused and sold to schools in the United States. ## Capabilities 1. **AI voice cloning.** Record a staff member once; every announcement is then delivered in that voice, consistent and fatigued-free, with no daily recording. 2. **Automatic translation.** Announcements can be delivered in 50+ languages so multilingual families are reached in the language they speak at home. 3. **Recurring bell scheduling.** Schedules can handle holidays, rotation days, half days, and special events without daily setup. 4. **CSV / spreadsheet import.** An existing bell schedule can be uploaded and SonarCloud maps bells, periods, and events without manual re-entry. 5. **Music bells and transitions.** Passing periods and transitions can use music or calming tones instead of a jarring buzzer. 6. **Zone-level broadcast control.** Choose which rooms, hallways, or the whole building hears an announcement. 7. **Instant emergency override.** Override plays immediately, is heard in every room, hallway, and corner, and stays in sync so everyone hears the same message at the same moment. Used for lockdown and other urgent school messages. ## How setup works 1. Plug the SonarCloud device into the school's PA. 2. Open the SonarCloud app. 3. Make an announcement from anywhere. Most schools are running within minutes of the device being connected. ## What SonarCloud is not - It is not a replacement for a school's PA amplifier or speakers; it plugs into the existing system. - It is not a student information system (SIS), gradebook, or learning management system. - It is not the SonarQube / SonarCloud static code analysis product from SonarSource. - It does not expose school data publicly. The operator dashboard at https://dashboard.getsonarcloud.com/ is authenticated and has no public API. ## Pricing Pricing is quoted per school after a short call, because scope depends on the number of buildings, zones, and announcement volume. There is no public self-serve price list. Book a call: https://calendly.com/sonarcloudteam/learn_more ## Customers Schools and districts across the United States.
