START YOUR ENGINES! Speech Racer Lite has raced into the future of speech apps by changing traditional “R” therapy into an engaging and responsive game! Your child won’t want to stop practicing as he or she hears the roar of the engine and the thrill of the finish line with each correctly articulated word.

Designed as a reinforcement tool for children and youth who struggle to pronounce the “R” sound consistently, Speech Racer is the first and only speech recognition and articulation grading software in speech therapy! Speech Racer listens to a user’s actual speech, breaks down the spoken word or phrase, analyzes the quality of the “R” sound in the sample, and provides a visual score on 1 of 4 racing meters.

Speech Racer Lite provides immediate reinforcement for proper “R” productions as well as feedback for approximated attempts. With self-monitoring and visual feedback, students can solidify their understanding of proper speech patterns and develop consistent speech habits that will carry over into their everyday speech.

Put the “pedal to the metal” with your child’s progress of the “R” sound. Download Speech Racer Lite today!
