SpeechTeach turns the word list your speech pathologist sends home into an explorable and animated teaching experience.

It listens for the sound, not just the word.

Most apps that “listen” are running ordinary word recognition, which will happily accept “thock” for “sock”. It is built to find real words in messy audio, which is exactly the wrong instinct for articulation practice.

SpeechTeach also runs a phoneme model, right on your device, that looks for the target sound in the right place in the word. Your child hears encouragement either way. You get the honest picture.

Animated mouth
shows the way.

Every new sound is introduced by a 3D mouth showing exactly where lips and tongue go, so you both know what you are aiming for before the first word appears.

Designed for a child who can’t read yet.

Every instruction is spoken. The microphone opens by itself when the prompt ends, so there is no button a three-year-old has to work out. The words on screen are for the grown-up looking over their shoulder. Pictures, sounds and cheering do the rest.

Send it straight to your therapist.

One tap builds a report (accuracy by sound, sounds at the start of words versus the end, week over week) and bundles it with your child’s actual recordings, ready to send. Your speech pathologist sees what home practice really sounded like, instead of what anyone remembers of it.

Hear the progress.

SpeechTeach keeps your child’s very first attempt at each word, and puts it next to their most recent one, with two play buttons. You don’t read a percentage and hope. You press play twice and hear the change yourself.

A parent dashboard with honest numbers.

Accuracy by sound, the start of a word scored apart from the end, week over week, plus every attempt and the word the app heard back. It also tells you how to cue each sound, written for you to say out loud, mid practice.

Speech recognition, sound scoring and every recording happen on your device and stay there. Nothing is ever sent anywhere unless you tap share yourself.

SpeechTeach is free to download. Pick the sound your child is working on: that whole world is free, forever. Every word in it, the animated mouth, the recordings and the honest numbers. When your speech pathologist adds the next sound, a single in-app purchase opens all 17 worlds and unlimited child profiles. It covers your whole family through Family Sharing, and it never renews.

Children roughly 1 to 7 who are working on their speech sounds, and the grown-ups practising with them. It fits alongside what your speech pathologist has already given you.

Romeo is four and works on his articulation. His dad built this because the ten minutes between the therapy session and the next one is where progress is won, and a printed word list is not fun for anybody.
