Language Therapy 4-in-1 vs Speech Sounds on Cue

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.

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.
