About this app

SpeakToMe is a parent-led speech practice app designed for non-verbal and minimally verbal children. It turns speech practice into a simple, repeatable routine that families can use at home between speech and language therapy appointments.

A child sees a picture or word prompt, speaks a short answer, and earns progress toward a reward. Parents stay in control of the difficulty, the routine, and how long reward time lasts.

Built for short daily sessions — not long, pressured practice blocks.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Children with speech delay, limited speech, or who are non-speaking
• Families waiting for speech and language therapy
• Parents supporting a child with autism, special needs, or a communication difficulty
• Speech therapists, teachers, and carers looking for a structured home practice tool
• Preschool and early years children learning to vocalise

HOW IT WORKS
• Shows simple speech prompts one at a time — pictures, words, letters, or numbers
• Listens for a short spoken answer using the device microphone
• Scores the attempt and tracks progress toward an unlock goal
• Starts a timed reward break after enough correct answers
• Repeats — building a consistent daily practice habit

PARENT CONTROLS
• Set how many correct answers are needed before reward time
• Choose the support level and curriculum stage
• Set how long each reward break lasts
• Review recent attempts and adjust the challenge
• Manage everything from a protected parent section

SPEECH DETECTION
• Voice-only mode accepts any clear vocal attempt
• Advanced mode uses an on-device speech model to match sounds to the target
• No internet connection needed for scoring — everything runs locally

DESIGNED FOR SUPERVISED USE
SpeakToMe is not a replacement for speech and language therapy. It is a home practice companion intended to be used with a parent, guardian, carer, teacher, or therapist present.

PRIVACY-FIRST
• No child account required
• Settings and progress stay on the device
• Audio clips are processed locally and not uploaded
• No third-party ads
• No data shared with third parties
