Speech practise your child will love. SpeechTeach turns the word list your speech pathologist sends home into an explorable experience. The app says a word out loud. Your child says it back. The phone listens, cheers, and a star lands on the map. IT LISTENS FOR THE SOUND, NOT JUST THE WORD Most apps that "listen" are running ordinary word recognition, which will happily accept "thock" for "sock". It is built to find real words in messy audio, which is exactly the wrong instinct for articulation practice. SpeechTeach also runs a phoneme model, right on your device, that looks for the target sound in the right place in the word. Your child hears encouragement either way. You get the honest picture. HEAR THE IMPROVEMENT This is the part parents talk about. SpeechTeach keeps your child's very first attempt at each word, and puts it next to their most recent one, with two play buttons. You don't read a percentage and hope. You press play twice and hear the change yourself. SEND IT STRAIGHT TO YOUR THERAPIST One tap builds a report (accuracy by sound, sounds at the start of words versus the end, week over week) and bundles it with your child's actual recordings, ready to send. Your speech pathologist sees what home practice really sounded like, instead of what anyone remembers of it. BUILT FOR A CHILD WHO CAN'T READ YET Every instruction is spoken. The microphone opens by itself when the prompt ends, so there is no button a three-year-old has to work out. The words on screen are for the grown-up looking over their shoulder. Pictures, sounds and cheering do the rest. NO PRESSURE. NO GUILT. NO NAGGING. No notifications, ever. No streak to break. A word your child can't say yet stays waiting on the map and comes back another day: they move straight on, and nothing on screen ever says "wrong". The daily goal celebrates when you hit it and stays quiet when you don't, because some days are like that. EVERYTHING STAYS ON THE PHONE No accounts. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Speech recognition, sound scoring and every recording happen on your device and stay there. Nothing is ever sent anywhere unless you tap share yourself. Our App Store privacy label says Data Not Collected, and it means it. MADE FOR GROWN-UP AND CHILD, TOGETHER Five minutes a day, side by side. SpeechTeach is a sit-together activity, not solo screen time: you hold the phone, your child says the words, and the app does the listening. FREE, WITH ONE IN-APP PURCHASE SpeechTeach is free to download. Pick the sound your child is working on: that whole world is free, forever. Every word in it, the animated mouth, the recordings and the honest numbers. When your speech pathologist adds the next sound, a single in-app purchase opens all 17 worlds and unlimited child profiles. One payment, it covers your whole family through Family Sharing, and it never renews. WHAT'S INSIDE ▶ Your child's own sound world free, in full ▶ 17 speech sounds, each its own explorable-map world ▶ 270+ picture words, ordered easy to hard ▶ Every sound practised at the start and the end of words ▶ Three levels: single words, short phrases, full sentences ▶ A parent dashboard behind a PIN, with honest numbers ▶ Recordings of your child's own attempts, then and now ▶ How to cue each sound, written for you to say out loud ▶ A one-tap report and recording bundle for your therapist WHO IT'S FOR Children roughly 1 to 7 who are working on their speech sounds, and the grown-ups practising with them. It fits alongside what your speech pathologist has already given you. MADE BY A DAD Romeo is four and works on his articulation. His dad built this because the ten minutes between the therapy session and the next one is where progress is won, and a printed word list is not fun for anybody. SpeechTeach supports the therapy your speech pathologist delivers. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace it.
