About SpeechStars: Kids Speech Coach
Speech practice designed with SLP input. SpeechStars turns home speech practice into short, playful sessions your child looks forward to. Aria, an animated 3D coach, shows exactly where the tongue and lips go for each sound, listens as your child tries the word, and gives gentle, specific encouragement. Practice adapts to your child's age, from toddlers saying first words to school-age kids working on tricky R and S sounds. WHAT YOUR CHILD PRACTICES • Speech sounds: R, S, L, TH, CH, SH, K, F and more • Sounds in words at the start, middle and end • First words and early vocabulary for toddlers and late talkers • Practice formats drawn from common speech-language pathology approaches, including articulation drills, phonological cycling and motor-planning practice HOW IT WORKS • Aria demonstrates each sound with mouth movements and step-by-step cues • Speech recognition listens to each try and runs on-device on supported iPhones • Feedback explains what to change (for example, a sound swapped or left out) • Activities adjust to ages 2 to 12 FOR PARENTS • 5 to 10 minute sessions that fit into busy days • Progress view showing which sounds are improving • Parent area protected by a parental gate FOR SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS • Use SpeechStars for home practice between sessions • SLP Pro supports multiple children and progress tracking PLANS • Free to download, includes 3 practice sessions in any 7 days • Optional Family Pro and SLP Pro monthly subscriptions; prices are shown in the app before you subscribe Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. SpeechStars is a practice supplement, not a replacement for a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). It does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you have concerns about your child's speech, please talk to an SLP or your pediatrician.
