Cuespeak vs Speech Sounds on Cue

Cuespeak is a rehabilitation app for people with aphasia and apraxia of speech, intended for practice at home or in a clinic. It runs on iOS and macOS and provides 14 configurable therapy modules with ready-made exercises and templates for personalised content. Sessions can address word finding, reading, writing, understanding words and sentences, spoken word production, sentence construction, and asking or answering questions. More than 15,000 videos break words and sentences into words, syllables, and sounds. Users can record and replay attempts, create exercises about themselves, and request videos for unavailable names or places. Cuespeak Clinician lets speech and language therapists send sessions and updates remotely and receive usage data and results. Clinician tools include progress tracking and custom activities. Home pricing starts at £9.99 per month with a 14-day trial; there is no free plan. Offline access is unavailable, and speech recognition uses Apple’s Siri system.

Speech Sounds on Cue is an iPhone and iPad app for speech treatment related to motor speech disorders, including apraxia, in adult rehabilitation and children’s speech treatment. It supports practice with more than 500 words using video, sound, written prompts, and colour photos. Users can practise words that begin with the same sound, randomize words with different starting sounds, or work with rhyming words. Recording and playback, along with auditory feedback, let users hear their responses. The maker describes the therapy as combining integral stimulation with carrier phrase facilitation drills. Australian and US voice versions are offered, and the maker says the Australian voice is also used by many British English speakers. Free lite versions are available: the Australian version includes the W sound, Basic Practice, and some rhyming words, while a US lite version is also listed. The maker says the apps collect no personal information or analytics; Speech Sounds on Cue records voice data for immediate playback and then deletes it. The app does not include clinician tools or progress tracking.
