Phonomate is a speech therapy app packed with engaging, voice-powered games designed to help children master their speech sounds. Using real-time speech recognition, the games respond to what children say, transforming speech practice from repetitive drills into interactive play. Designed for speech-language pathologists, parents, and students, Phonomate combines motivating gameplay with powerful progress-monitoring tools, making it easy to practice, track growth, and celebrate success. FOUR TYPES OF PRACTICE, TWELVE GAMES Auditory Discrimination โ€” Feed the Robot Before a child can produce a sound correctly, they need to hear the difference. Feed the Robot helps children learn to distinguish between target sounds by listening carefully and feeding the hungry robot the correct meal. Minimal Pairs โ€” Lizard Log, Run Rabbit, Bye Monster, Bag of Fruit, Over the Moon, Puzzle Splash, Key Quest These games use word pairs that differ by just one sound, helping children connect what they hear with what they say. Say the correct word to make the action happen! Custom Word Practice โ€” Gummy Jump, Snowman Builder Choose a speech sound and word position (initial, medial, or final), then select from expert-curated word lists or enter your own custom targets. The app listens in real time, and correct productions advance the game, keeping children engaged and motivated. Shaping & Placement Practice โ€” Rising Lava, Bus Stop These games help children learn accurate placement for challenging sounds. Rising Lava uses real-time acoustic analysis to provide feedback on /r/ productions, while Bus Stop uses a live camera view to help children monitor tongue placement for /s/.
