Speech Cards Pro

I don’t know about you, but I always get excited when I see a new speech apps on the market! (And after the Exhibit Hall at ASHA there are so many I want to try out!) The following is a review of the Speech Cards Pro App by RWH Technology. They provided the app, but the thoughts are all mine! Scroll to the bottom to enter a giveaway for a free copy of the app!

There are a few articulation apps already out there but one thing that sets Speech Cards Pro apart is that you can upload your own pictures to create an artic deck! I had a lot of fun with this feature!
You can create your own deck by adding in pictures from your camera roll (pictures you have taken with your iPad) or add to a deck that is already there by adding your own pictures and words/phrases/sentences. I did both! Each deck holds up to 20 cards.

 
 


 I added pictures to the initial P deck.  (Please don’t judge my photography skills! I obviously need lessons from many of you!)


And I also created an Initial D Deck and instead of words I did sentences.

 

Already on the app are animal, food, initial P words and CVC words. For me, the one drawback is that there were not more phoneme decks loaded on the app. I would love to see more phonemes and/or categories added in the next update!

It also allows you to track your student data (Yay!)

This app is very versatile and you can make it fit your needs. For example, I have student who is working on remembering names of his family and teachers. I took photos of the people and put their names in the deck. This student is not working on articulation, but I was still able to use this app! I am all about getting more bang for my buck!

Overall, I think this app is a wonderful resource! It is a bit time consuming to create your own artic decks, but I liked that my students had a new set of words to practice. It also gave me a chance to get creative! Look for this app in the iTunes Store! Also, if you are still unsure about purchasing the app download the Speech Cards Lite App first!

  4. I don't use iPad much for artic... I just do not have a favorite app. Maybe this could be the one.
