Product Description: 

SpeechPrompts is an iOS app that provides speech therapy exercises to help those with autism practice rate, rhythm, stress, and loudness of speech. It is designed for use with those with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), particularly individuals exhibiting abnormal prosody.

Main Features: 

  • The VoiceChart feature provides real-time feedback on loudness of speech, and it can be used in quiet or loud spaces.
  • The program graphically indicates the loudness of the user's speech with three built-in graphics: "Too Loud," "Too Quiet," and "Just Right."
  • The user can use the host device's camera to add their own visuals.
  • The VoiceMatch feature offers visual and aural feedback on stress, rate, and rhythm of speech by comparing a "Teacher" voice recording to a "Student" voice recording both visually (by a waveform graphic) and aurally (via audio playback).
  • The student attempts to match the teacher's waveform by repeating it aloud, and differences between the two audio recordings are highlighted in the visual display.
  • SpeechPrompts includes a library of 50 teacher waveforms.
  • The user can record their own recordings, and categorize, label and re-record the built-in samples.
  • The program allows the user to record multiple variations of a phrase by emphasizing different words to teach how emphasizing different words can change the meaning of a phrase.

Primary Specifications: 

  • For use with an Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.
  • Requires Apple iOS 5.0 or later.
