Speech Garden β speech therapy games for kids Speech Garden is a playful, neon-bright speech therapy app for kids. It helps toddlers, preschoolers, and early primary children β including late talkers and autistic kids β practice real speech at home with fun, game-like exercises that listen and celebrate every word. Note: Speech Garden is a subscription-based app. An active subscription is required to access lesson content and games. A 3-day free trial is included in supported regions. What kids can practice Kids explore 20+ themed stages that mirror daily life: Simple Sounds β aaah, mmm, shhh to wake up the mouth Needs & Feelings β more, help, finished, hungry, hurt Actions β go, stop, jump, run, clap, wash Everyday Objects & At Home words Play & People, Family, Polite Words Body & Senses, Clothes & Self-Care, Food & Drinks Places & Outside, Time & Routines Describing Words, Questions & Grammar Helpers Feelings & Emotions, Fun Themes (dinosaurs, rockets, unicorns) Letters AβZ and Numbers 0β30 Speech Garden works beautifully as a speech therapy app for toddlers, home speech therapy for autistic kids, and extra practice for children with language delay or articulation goals. How Speech Garden works A friendly, kid-safe voice models each word. Your child taps the big microphone and speaks back. Built-in speech recognition listens in real time and compares the word. When itβs close enough, the screen glows, praises them, and moves to the next word. The smart matching system allows for small pronunciation errors, so kids feel successful even if speech isnβt perfect yet. Itβs ideal for speech therapy homework, articulation practice, and daily language games between sessions with an SLP or therapist. Made for tiny humans (and tired parents) 600+ carefully chosen everyday words across home, school, play and routines Multiple kid-friendly voice profiles so families can choose the accent they like Bright, neon-soft color themes that keep kids engaged without overwhelming them A gentle progress tracker that shows how many words your child practices Achievement cards for new words, with a parent-locked share button for sending wins to grandparents, teachers or therapists Built-in parental gates (simple math checks) before any purchases or external links, so children cannot buy or open anything on their own If youβre searching for a speech practice app for preschoolers, speech therapy games for toddlers, or a speech pronunciation practice app for children, Speech Garden is designed for you.

Speakate
Read full descriptionHide full description
Speakate is a daily voice practice. One short session a day, already chosen for you, to build a steadier, clearer, more confident speaking voice. Most voice advice is a pile of tips you never act on. Speakate gives you one thing at a time: today's session, four to eight minutes, then you close the app. WHAT YOU PRACTICE Seven core modules, in the order a coach would teach them: - Breath Control - the engine. Everything else sits on top of this. - Relaxation and Resonance - let the body go, then find where the voice rings. - Pausing and Pacing - slow down, and let a silence do the work. - Articulation - crisp edges. Every word arrives whole. - Volume and Projection - louder from support, never from the throat. - Pitch Variety and Tonal Control - kill the monotone and control the tone. - Real-World Speaking - take it into calls, meetings and conversations. Repetition is the method. You do the same small set of drills every day for a week or two before the next module opens, because that is how a voice actually changes. BUILT AROUND YOUR VOICE Tell Speakate what trips you up and the modules reorder so yours comes earlier. Thirteen optional modules, such as Filler Words, Vocal Fry and Clear Endings, and Resonance and Depth, are added only when your answers or your voice test point to them. Nothing is locked. THE VOICE TEST Answer four questions and talk for 20 seconds. Speakate measures your pitch, pace, energy and control, gives you a voice type, and uses the result to shape your plan. SOUND MODE Follow the day's session by ear. Spoken instructions keep playing with the screen locked. THEN AND NOW At the start you record two short takes. Later you record them again and play the two side by side, so you can hear your own change. BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING Streaks, points and milestones for the days you show up. One session at a time, so you are never staring at a long list. VOICE NUDGES Optional reminders through the day, each a different tip. "Start the first sentence lower." "Pause instead of saying um." Off until you turn them on. YOUR PRIVACY Takes you keep for playback are saved on your phone. A few features need to count your words: the pace checks, the filler count and the voice test. For those, the take is sent securely to be transcribed and is not stored. The microphone runs only while you are recording or in a live drill, never in the background. No advertising, no third-party trackers, nothing sold. What syncs is your practice log and results, so your streak follows you to a new phone.
