BITS Lab vs SpeechLP

Many children, adolescents, and adults struggle to eliminate speech errors affecting the American English 'r' sound. Research suggests that these errors can in some cases be eliminated through biofeedback, where learners view a dynamic visual image of their speech and attempt to match a target representing correct production. staRt ("Speech Therapist's App for /r/ Treatment") aims to make biofeedback treatment for /r/ widely accessible to practicing speech-language pathologists. Features: - Tutorial explaining how to interpret and use the biofeedback display - "Free play" mode where users match their real-time visual-acoustic display to a target representing correct production of ‘r’ - "Quest" mode presenting syllables/words for 'r' practice; complexity increases or decreases in an adaptive fashion based on recent performance - "Quiz" mode for use in measuring baseline performance and tracking progress - Visual rewards reinforcing improvements in performance - Clinician dashboard tracking progress over the course of treatment

Speech therapy practice for kids that actually works — AI-powered articulation games used by 1,000+ speech-language pathologists and the families they refer. Is your child working on their R sound? Apraxia? A speech delay? More than 3.4 million American children have speech sound disorders — and the SLPs who treat them are stretched thin, with waitlists growing. Progress takes consistent, accurate practice, in session and every day between them. SpeechLP was built with SLPs to deliver exactly that. SpeechLP helps children ages 2–9 practice articulation and speech sounds through AI-guided games that make daily practice feel like play. With 1,000+ words covering R, S, TH, L, all consonants, and blends, carryover practice becomes something kids actually ask to do. "By far the best in-session and at-home articulation games." — Sarah Fleishman, SLP-CCC WHY IT WORKS Research published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research found that children receiving real-time acoustic feedback improved 2.4x faster than those receiving traditional motor-based treatment alone. SpeechLP puts that principle in your child's hands: real-time AI listening delivers gentle, sound-by-sound feedback, so kids hear and correct their own speech in the moment. Smart voice detection separates their phonetic speech from the game's own music and sounds, so every score reflects a real attempt, and real wins.
