Language Therapy 4-in-1 vs SpeechBox

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.

SpeechBox supports word and phrase articulation practice for people with speech disorders, including Childhood Apraxia of Speech, autism, Down syndrome, stroke rehabilitation, and phonological disorders. Its library lists over 2,350 target words and over 2,000 simple phrases arranged in categories. Users can make custom boxes and add personalized pictures from a camera, photo library, or Bing image search. Practice responses can be marked correct, incorrect, approximate, or prompted, with results exportable to PDF or spreadsheet. Audio choices include professional recordings, user-recorded prompts, and male and female US, UK, and Australian English voices. Custom boxes can be shared with colleagues, parents, and others, and the app can be used for teletherapy with Zoom or Google Meet. SpeechBox runs on iOS and macOS. The site offers a free “/p/ Box” and a 30-day free trial. Monthly plans cost $3.99 a month for Basic Access, $7.99 a month for Professional Access, and $9.99 a month for Elite Access. Annual plans listed are $39.99 a year for Basic Access and $79.99 a year for Professional Access.
