What it is

Articulate Plus is a paid iOS, iPadOS, and macOS app for speech-language pathologists and parents supporting children’s articulation practice. Its activities include FlashCards, Matching, Stories, and Guess What. FlashCards support word, phrase, and sentence practice, while targets can be filtered by developmental sound groups, phonological processes, manner of articulation, and syllable count. Video models show real actors producing every target word. Stories combine sound-focused text, highlighted targets, comprehension questions, and recording and playback tools. Session timelines, activity accuracy, developmental milestones, and detailed session data support progress tracking. Users can create unlimited player profiles and include up to six players in a session. Custom targets can include photos, text, and recorded audio. Homework tracking shares at-home practice data with a child’s therapist, and printable achievement certificates are available. The listed plan costs $49.99 as a one-time purchase.
