In their own words
Cuespeak
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.
