Why SpeechDeck
The cheap apps say one word and show another. We made that impossible.
For a tool whose only job is teaching a child the correct word for an action, a mismatched photo, audio, and label is not a bug — it is the product failing at its one function. Every SpeechDeck card's photo, audio, and label are verified to match, and an automated test refuses to ship a deck that breaks the rule.
Features
A real clinical tool, not a $0.99 toy
Built with practicing SLPs for the realities of a school therapy room: back-to-back students, bad Wi-Fi, and quarterly IEP reports.
The triple always matches
Real photo, native-speaker audio, and label are verified to match on every single card. This is the one invariant we never compromise.
One-tap response logging
Score every response Correct, Incorrect, or Cued — the standard SLP triad — with your thumb, without breaking eye contact with the child. A running tally stays for your eyes only.
Export to IEP notes
Turn a session or date range into a clean PDF or CSV through the share sheet — email, AirDrop, or save to Files. Generated on-device, ready to paste into a progress note.
Per-student progress
Each child's accuracy trend per target builds across sessions — "jumping: 40% → 65% → 80% over three weeks" — the story your IEP reports are built from.
Instant student switch
End one session, tap the next child, and their deck and history load instantly with a fresh session — clean data, no cross-contamination. The school-SLP reality, finally designed for.
Identification mode
Show 2–4 photos, play one word, and the child taps the match — for receptive targets. The exact feature the incumbent ships broken, done right.
Build & add your own
Filter by theme, target sound, or syllable count to compose custom decks — or add a card with your own photo, audio, and label in seconds. The library is never "missing" a word.
Offline-first, always
Fully functional in airplane mode. Bad clinic Wi-Fi never blocks a session, and nothing about being offline is ever treated as an error.
Private by design
Students are first name or initials only. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics, no ad SDKs — nothing leaves the device. The honest privacy posture minors' data deserves.
How It Works
First correct card in ten seconds
Open to a deck
No login, no account, no setup wizard. The app opens straight to a starter deck — tap a card, hear the word, and it matches.
Run the loop
Hand the device toward the child. Play the audio, score the response with one thumb, tap Next. The child sees encouragement; you see the data.
Export the report
End the session and export a clean summary to PDF or CSV. The hand-tallied tally marks on paper are gone.
Two faces, one screen
Calm for the child. Dense for the clinician.
The child sees a big, clear photo and a friendly voice — never a score, never a red X, never a buzzer. The clinician sees discreet scoring controls and a live tally layered on the same screen. A child never sees data; a clinician never loses control.
The child sees
- A big, real photo
- A friendly voice on tap
- A gentle "yes!" when right
- Quiet, optional rewards
The clinician sees
- Correct / Incorrect / Cued
- A live accuracy tally
- The student switcher
- Per-target history
The moments that make it sing
- Correct photo + audio in the first 10 seconds
- One-thumb scoring, eyes on the child
- The score the child never sees
- Instant switch between back-to-back students
- Therapy to paperwork, closed in one tap
- Total offline reliability
- Privacy you can feel
The killer differentiator
Data is the product, not a feature
Response logging and exportable reports are core, because that is what turns a flashcard toy into a clinical tool worth paying for — and exactly what the $0.99 incumbents cannot match.
- One-tap Correct / Incorrect / Cued on every card
- Live session tally, hidden from the child
- Per-student accuracy trend across sessions
- PDF and CSV export via the share sheet
- Generated on-device — no upload, no account
Who it's for
Made with SLPs, for the people who do the work
School SLPs
Primary
50+ students a week, back-to-back, on bad Wi-Fi, writing IEP progress reports quarterly. They need speed, reliability, per-student data, and exports — and they expense tools that save time.
Special-ed teachers
Language groups
Running language groups without being speech specialists. They want simple, correct, kid-friendly picture decks with minimal setup.
Parents at home
Home practice
Doing the home practice their SLP recommended. The same calm card loop, with the clinical depth tucked out of sight — warmth and encouragement up front.
Privacy
It stays on the device. All of it.
Working with minors means privacy is the third rail, so SpeechDeck is built data-minimal and offline-first. Students are entered by first name or initials only — no last name, no date of birth. There are no accounts, no servers, no cloud sync in v1, no third-party analytics, and no ad SDKs that touch a child's data.
Everything — photos, audio, decks, and response logs — lives on your iPhone or iPad. Delete a student and their data goes with them. We publish a plain, honest privacy promise because not collecting your data is itself a trust differentiator versus the data-hungry incumbents.
