A computer can now copy your grandchild's voice.
There is a free way to stop it, and it takes about five minutes at the kitchen table. Here is the one-page sheet that walks you through it.
No cost, and no account to set up. The sheet opens on the next page — nothing to wait for.

Everything you need, and nothing you don't.
The rule itself
One sentence your whole family agrees to, and the reason a copied voice cannot get past it.
Four rules for choosing one
Why “pumpernickel” is a better word than your dog's name, and where never to say it.
Exactly what to say
The words for tonight's phone call — and for the call you hope never comes.
Made to be printed and kept by the phone. Your word is the one thing it deliberately does not contain — the sheet explains why.
Who we are
We're Silver Star Tech Academy, in Williamson County, Texas. We teach adults 55+ how to use AI and everyday technology with confidence — and spot the scams that target them.
We give this away because the safe word is the single most useful thing we know, and it works whether or not you ever hear from us again.
Pick your family's word tonight.
Five minutes now, and one short phone call this evening.
No cost, and no account to set up.
