Articulation Station Hive vs Everyday Speech

Articulation Station Hive is an articulation therapy app for speech-language pathologists and parents supporting practice at home.

A group session can include up to six students, each working on a different sound and level; data can sync across devices. The maker says sessions can be tailored to learners of all ages and skill levels. The app is available for iPhone, iPad, and Silicon Macs released after 2020, but not Android. Membership login is limited to three devices, with one device active at a time and no account sharing.
