Language Therapy 4-in-1 vs Smarty Ears Online

Language Therapy 4-in-1 combines four word-level therapy apps for people with aphasia: Comprehension Therapy, Naming Therapy, Reading Therapy, and Writing Therapy. Activities cover understanding words, naming, reading phrases and sentences, and spelling with letter tiles. Users can adjust exercises and add personal words and photos. The app is available in US English, UK English, French, German, and Spanish. Tactus Therapy presents it as a tool for speech-language pathologists and as a home exercise program for adults recovering from stroke, brain injury, and related conditions. A free Lite version includes every activity across the four apps but limits the word selection. After installation, the apps work offline. The maker says no account is required, information is not sent to Tactus, and optional custom information remains on the device. Session scores and reports are not permanently stored, although users can share reports after a session. The apps are not diagnostic tools and do not produce clinical assessments or recommendations. The full version costs 89.99 USD as a one-time payment on iOS and Android.

Smarty Ears Online provides adaptive learning activities and therapeutic tools for children with speech impairment and learning disabilities. Activities cover language, literacy, phonological awareness, speech and articulation, social communication, and reading comprehension. Educators can define goals aligned with individual IEPs, track student activity automatically, and review real-time progress data and detailed reports. Student progress can be shared with educational teams, caregivers, and other educators. Caregivers can receive secure access through a district or therapist for home practice at no additional cost. The service runs on web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and requires internet access with a current browser version. There is no free plan, but 30 days of free access is offered. Professional costs $21.99 a month or $240 a year. Enterprise and Collaborative Plus each cost $340 a year; district and organization pricing is by quote.
