Reading & Speech After Stroke is an app for adults who want to practice letters, phoneme sounds, syllables, reading, pronunciation, Text-to-Speech, and custom sound recordings after stroke, aphasia, apraxia of speech, dysarthria, or traumatic brain injury.

The app is not a children’s alphabet game. It has no ads, no subscriptions, and no distracting gamification. The interface uses large buttons, high-contrast letters, and a simple screen grid, making it easier to use with reduced hand control, hemiparesis, or fine motor difficulties.

KEY FEATURES:

• Letter-sound practice
Users can tap a letter and hear it through the device’s Text-to-Speech engine or through a custom recording, if one has been recorded.

• Record phoneme sounds with the microphone
Users can record their own sounds for letters and phonemes, listen to them, and use them during practice. This is useful when Text-to-Speech reads the name of a letter instead of the actual phoneme sound. For example, it may say “bee” instead of a short /b/ sound.

• Syllable reading and sound blending
The app helps practice how separate letters and sounds combine into syllables.

• Text-to-Speech for communication
Users can type letters, words, or short phrases on a large screen grid and have them spoken aloud by the device.

• Simple interface after stroke
Large buttons, a clear layout, and extra spacing help make daily home practice easier.

• Support for 16 languages
The app uses Text-to-Speech voices available on the device. You can switch languages to practice letters, sounds, syllables, reading, and pronunciation.

WHO THIS APP MAY HELP:

• Adults after stroke who have difficulty reading, speaking, or communicating.
• People with aphasia, apraxia of speech, dysarthria, or effects of traumatic brain injury.
• People who have difficulty connecting letters, sounds, reading, and pronunciation.
• Family members, caregivers, speech-language therapists, and rehabilitation specialists who need a simple tool for home practice.

The app does not replace medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or work with a qualified specialist. It is intended only as an additional tool for self-practice and home exercises.
