Enter the world of Speech Racer Lite, a groundbreaking speech app that transforms conventional "R" therapy into an interactive and responsive gaming experience.

Specifically designed as a supportive tool for children and youths encountering challenges in consistently pronouncing the “R” sound, Speech Racer stands out as the first and only software combining speech recognition with articulation grading functions in the realm of speech therapy. This pioneering technology listens to users' speech, dissects uttered words or phrases, evaluates the quality of the “R” sound, and reflects this analysis on one of four racing-themed meters.

Speech Racer Lite offers immediate positive reinforcement for precise “R” productions and constructive feedback for approximate attempts. With features such as self-evaluation tools and visual cues, students can enhance their grasp of correct speech patterns and develop enduring speaking habits that extend beyond therapy sessions.
