SpeakToMe is a speech practice app for non-verbal and minimally verbal children. It
gives families a short, repeatable home routine they can actually use between speech and
language therapy appointments, during long waits for NHS support, or whenever they need a
calmer way to practise at home.

How it works
We show a prompt - Child makes a sound - Gets a reward
SpeakToMe keeps the loop simple so children can practise more and adults can keep the
routine consistent.
1
Prompts the child
The child sees one visual prompt at a time with a short question such as "What is
this?"
2
Scores the speech
The app listens for a short spoken attempt, checks it against the expected answer, and
records whether the child met the target.
3
Unlocks reward time
After enough successful answers, the app opens a time-limited reward window and then
returns to practice.

Advice is not the same as a routine.
Waiting weeks or months for the next NHS speech and language step.

Wanting consistency without turning every session into hard work for everyone.
