Whether you’re a speech and language pathologist (SLP), an SLP college student, a parent of children with speech delays, or someone trying to improve their American English accent, you’re going to find this an invaluable application. A first of its kind in the field, Speech Tutor brings the latest in technology and animation to the world of speech. The animations inside Speech Tutor take the areas of the face that impede the view of tongue placement and positioning and make them transparent. Now one can literally see inside the mouth as the sounds are being made! Speech Tutor offers a “Side View” and a “Front View” of each sound production, both of which can be viewed at 3 different speeds (slow, medium, fast). The movies can also be paused any given point. With 132 animations in all, Speech Tutor is sure to offer a helpful view and speed for anyone in need. Speech Tutor does not stop there though. Non SLPs can begin the application by reading an easy to understand “Basics” tutorial which provides the reader with a solid foundation of the basic knowledge needed to know before attempting to improve any/all English consonants. Also provided is detailed text specific to each sound that further describes how each sound is technically made, tips provided by licensed speech and language pathologists, and milestones for when each sound should be acquired and mastered. Along with viewing the animations, one can also view a “Palate” diagram to further demonstrate where on the palate the tongue should be placed. Last but not least, users of the application can choose to record themselves as they practice their target sounds and then choose to play it before and after a correctly modeled production. Animations for the following sounds are provided: P, B, T, D, K, G, N, M, ING, F, V, S, Z, SH, CH, J, L, R (retroflex and bunched), TH (voiced and voiceless) and 4 new vowel animations - /i/, /u/, /a/ and /æ/ SUBSCRIPTION Full access is also available as Speech Tutor Weekly Access, an auto-renewable subscription for $9.99 per week in the U.S. (prices vary by country). If you've bought Speech Tutor, you keep full access without a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically each week unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings.

Math in the Sky
Read full descriptionHide full description
Space arcade game to improve and practice math skills. Spot and hit asteroids on a path of increasing difficulty. Start by recognizing even and odd numbers, continue with positive and negative, deal with concepts of "less than" and "greater than", perform small additions and subtractions on the fly, learn to evaluate the “order of magnitude” of the results, train with the multiplication tables and with the divisions, face the concept of "prime number". Use missiles and lasers and earn extra ammo, time and points by answering simple quizzes from an alien flying saucer. Each level must be cleared to progress to the next, but levels can also be played and repeated freely. At the beginning of each level, the definition of the topic addressed is presented with an example of a correct solution and one of an incorrect answer. Piloting occurs by rotating the device, but two buttons can also be used to move the spaceship. In addition to the standard mode, the app can also work in a "facilitated" way. Everything becomes slower, the number of solutions increases, the asteroids do not rotate and can even be "hit" by touching them with a finger. List of topics: - even / odd; - positive / negative; - less than, greater than; - sums; - subtractions; - multiplications (times tables from 2 to 10); - divisions; - Prime numbers.

Verdict
