SpeakToMe: Speech Practice

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 SpeakToMe is developed by Sendsorta. speech delay, speech therapy, autism, non-speaking, special needs, SEN, preschool, early years, home practice, communication app
