Talkie is an innovative articulation app designed to help children learn and practice speech-sound production.
The PRO version includes access to all phonemes.
Talkie integrates three elements: a real-time monitoring loop, a unique interface for customizing word lists and interactive games.
Developed by a team of certified Speech-Language-Pathologists and Product engineers who joined forces to produce new clinical tools that can be incorporated into the therapeutic process.
Talkie is suitable for practice in the clinical setting with the Speech-Language-Pathologist as well as for home-practice (under the guidance of the clinician) for reinforcement of skills-taught with parents or caregivers.
An advanced and easy-to-use interface for customizing word lists
Choose words according to various criteria:
-The position of the phoneme in the word - four positions available
-Number of syllables
-Blends inclusion or exclusion
-Semantic difficulty
-Articulation difficulty
-Single phoneme versus multiple phonemes simultaneously
You can add or remove blends, increase or reduce semantic level, number of syllables and phonetic difficulty. You can practice a whole group of sounds by selecting several target sounds that share a phonetic category or address a type of error.
