Score 4 Articulation vs Sara

Created by a speech-language pathologist, Score 4 Articulation makes speech practice fun, motivating, and effective. This innovative articulation app combines the excitement of a classic game with targeted speech sound practice to help children improve their articulation skills. Whether you're an SLP looking for a powerful speech therapy tool or a parent supporting speech at home, Score 4 Articulation is a game-changer. KEY FEATURES: Engaging Gameplay: Enjoy the classic challenge of connecting four in a row, now with a twist! Each turn begins with practicing a speech sound, making articulation practice an integral part of the game. Speech Mastery Through Play: Players can tap on each word to hear a clear pronunciation model. A visual counter tracks repetitions to encourage frequent practice and build speech accuracy. Targeted Sound Practice: Choose from a variety of game boards, each focusing on different sounds, including R (initial, vocalic, blends), S (initial, blends, final), L (initial, medial, blends), SH (initial, medial + final), CH (initial, final), J (initial, medial + final), and TH (voiceless). Target words have been meticulously selected by a speech-language pathologist, and a clear pronunciation model can be heard aloud by tapping on the image. Multiple Modes and Levels: Challenge the computer in single-player mode or play against a friend, SLP, or parent in two-player mode. Select from easy to difficult levels to suit the student’s skill level. Two players can even choose different sound targets, making it ideal for mixed speech groups. Rewards and Motivation: Win a game and color in three stars. Every 10 repetitions also earns stars or diamonds, helping kids stay engaged and motivated to practice more. Research-Based: Research suggests that massed practice, with many repetitions in a short period, enhances speech sound acquisition and motor learning (Maas et al., 2008; Bislick et al., 2012). This game leverages this principle to help children improve their speech more effectively. Score 4 Articulation turns speech therapy practice into a game kids will love.

Sara is an app for daily speech sound practice at home. A session runs five to ten minutes. Sara listens to each word your child says, marks it correct or incorrect, gives a hint when one is needed, and keeps track of how every sound is coming along. Sara was built with speech-language pathologists, AI engineers and designers, some of whom grew up with their own speech challenges. It is made for parents and caregivers practicing with their own child. WHAT SARA COVERS 23 sounds, including R, S, Z, L, SH, CH, K, G and TH both voiced and voiceless. Practice runs on words targets. A PRACTICE SESSION Pick a sound, the kind of practice and how long it should run. Sara checks the microphone and the room noise before you start, then works through the words with your child. There are word drills and minimal-pair practice, with Sara listening to every word, and reward games at the end. Child Mode keeps your child in the session, and a grown-up check is needed to leave. WHAT YOU SEE The home screen shows practice days this week, words practiced, recent scores and a progress chart. After each session you get a report listing every word, which ones needed a hint, and how each sound is coming along. You can set practice reminders for the days you choose, and add more than one child to a family. WORKING WITH YOUR CHILD'S SLP If your child works with a speech-language pathologist who uses Sara for SLP, you can connect the two with an invite code. Homework and notes come to you, and what your child practices at home goes back to them. Both apps also work on their own. SUBSCRIPTION The practice curriculum and the progress dashboard require a subscription, and a two-week free trial of full access is included. AI AND PRIVACY Sara uses AI to listen to your child and to detect speech errors to provide feedback. We keep AI usage as limited and as safe as we can. • COPPA compliant • No third-party ads • You control your child's data and what is shared Sara provides educational articulation practice and real-time feedback for skill development. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. CONTACT Questions or feature requests: support@saraspeech.com
