BITS Lab vs Articulation Lab

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

Articulation Lab was developed by speech-language therapist Gülce Tüzüner to help children recognize speech sounds, practice at the sound, syllable, word, sentence, and reading levels, and build clearer speech through playful activities. The app includes hundreds of speech sound practice items, games, and reading activities for the R, S, L, SH, CH, TH, Z, and J sounds. Activities are organized by target sound and cover multiple practice levels, including sound warm-ups, words, sentences, minimal pairs, reading lists, and reading passages. Articulation Lab includes: - 8 speech sound targets - 6 different game modes - 400+ word and image-supported practice items - Sound warm-ups, word, sentence, and reading practice - Minimal pair activities - Reading lists and reading passages - Daily goals, progress tracking, and a reward system - Multiple profile support The free version includes access to the S sound with limited practice and game previews, one child profile, and limited daily practice. With Articulation Lab Plus, all target sounds, games, practice activities, reading content, and multiple profile features are unlocked. Articulation Lab is designed to support speech sound practice. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace evaluation or therapy by a qualified speech-language professional.
