Articulate it! is a unique multi-player application created specifically to help children improve their speech sound production. Designed by a certified speech-language pathologist, Articulate it! contains over 1000 images selected for working on English consonant sounds at the word, phrase and sentence level. It also includes 72 stunning scenes targeting story level. Perfect for all levels of articulation/phonology therapy; potential targets include consonants, digraphs, and consonant clusters. Articulate it! is compatible with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad making it the perfect app for the busy speech-language pathologist, teacher, or parent.

Data Collection
When the session is complete, a simple touch to the home button and confirmation tap brings the app to the reports function. A touch to the red arrow beside the student’s name brings up the data for that session. The data includes: date of practice, target phoneme at which level, percent accuracy and number of words attempted. In addition, there are buttons for “recordings,” “words,” and “notes.” Tapping on recordings brings up the student’s recordings during that session. The Words button provides a list of the words attempted that session and the Notes button brings up any notes that may have been written about the session.

Customization
Articulate it! has a “settings” button on the home screen and in the app. The settings button allows the user to turn on/off: transition sounds, written word display, random images, word source, moving forward automatically, and displaying the results on the screen.
Articulate it! also creates backup data in iTunes which will allow it to be restored if for some reason the app needs to be deleted or a new iDevice is purchased.
Purpose
Articulate it! was designed to assist in articulation therapy by utilizing technology to present words and phrases to students while collecting data. Because Articulate it! is a multi-user application it can be easily utilized for group articulation sessions. Articulate it! can be set up to allow data to be collected on multiple utterances of each word allowing high frequency articulation drill to be used for maximum therapy benefit1 without losing the ease in data collection. Alternately, Articulate it! can be set to automatically move forward with a single tap to allow maximum word exposure.
Placement of the written word and phrases for each picture allows the SLP to incorporate a literacy component into therapy.

I have been using this app as my go-to artic app for over a year now. I loves the fun themes, the options for phrases and sentences, and the options to choose phonological processes. Most sounds have a good variety of pictures, and I love being able to choose the number of syllables in target words. One things I would love to see in the app is more variation for /r/ and categories for the vocalic /r/ variations. This would be so helpful and time saving for all of the /r/ kiddos out there! Also, I second some of the other reviews in that it would be very helpful to be able to save specific words to certain kiddos. Other than those two things, I love this app, especially for the price!


Great App for motivating Students!
MaeKiger

I use the Articulate it app almost daily! I have many students with speech sound disorders, so I get to see a good variety of children use this app in therapy. It has been wonderful to see how motivated they are to get through 100 trials quickly! I also love how easily I can change between different levels of complexity. My students also love to use the memory match game to shake things up!


Super quick and thorough

I love this app! I’m an SLP with grades 3-5 so they like things fast and to see feedback. I use this often and am able to switch levels with just a touch and show them correct vs. incorrect immediately. They love it and the pictures are familiar and realistic. The variety of words used for the sounds is also great! Overall, this app gets five stars!!!

I love this app! The ease of use and fun pics make my clients enjoy using this app. The best part is the ability to send progress and homework directly to families!


Love This App!

This app is versatile and so much fun! My kids love to use it in therapy. I often use it in conjunction with games or other activities, but it can easily be used alone. The data it collects is useful and makes writing progress notes easy! Thanks for another great app SE!


My Go To Artic App
GardenGirl102

I use this app daily in therapy. Great for the traveling SLP that doesn’t want to carry 20 cards decks between schools. I love that I can choose the stimulus cards by sound, phonological process, or even number of syllables. There are many different cards for each sound. The printable HW pages are a nice feature as well. My students enjoy the different themes and memory game. Four starts because there are occasional bugs and R cards are not divided by type of R.


Quick and fun

I like to use this app when I need a quick, portable activity. The kids like matching as well as the rotating sentences which increases the level of difficulty slightly. Love the pictures for non readers.

I appreciate the themes on this app. You can change the theme to match the season or holiday. My students always get a kick out of it when I change it! They are more engaged and love the transition sounds. The only thing I would change is the complexity level of the sentences. I think a lot of the sentences are very basic and some of my older students need longer, more complex sentences.


The perfect travel companion
MSchleihauf

This app has been a lifesaver when traveling between schools. It gives me access to all of the sounds at various levels of the articulation hierarchy and completely cuts down in the amount of materials I need to carry along with me from school to school. I also love that there is a phrase option!
