Speech Trainer 3D for Android

Love this app! When my explanation of placement isn’t working for the students, I use this app to provide a better visual, especially for sounds that are more difficult to see correct placement. I also love the video feature as the students are way more motivated by this than a mirror.

Horrible. Author states she is a speech pathologist-she should realize that in presenting phonemes they should be the pure sound such as /p/ or /b/ and not /puh/ or /buh/ adding the schwa sound. I cannot use this app. With my Accent Mod students as the information presented is grossly incorrect. Disappointing.

Upper elementary find this app engaging. As a SLP hoped it would be good visual support particularly for the /r/. However, it is limited & does not exaggerate enough. Mirror modeling is much better.

My clinic paid $8 for this app so we could use it in therapy with clients but we found that a number of the example words for the vowel sounds are incorrect. For example, for /e/, the example words included "bed". Clearly, it isn't pronounced with a long a sound.

I wanted to improve my English pronunciation; therefore, despite the lack of review for me to determine if this is a good app (and if worths the price – there are similar vowels and Consonants training on a few IPA/language related websites), I went ahead and bought it. After my first session with all vowels and consonants training, my conclusion: it's a less than desired app – too little examples for each sound (just two!) and a little too pricy for what it offers. But what really annoys me is a number of mistakes I spotted, and it makes me lost confidence whether the instruction for each sound is correct. Examples, k and g's instructions - the vocal cord highlighted but the instruction is for the nasal passage; and one of the examples for the s sound is wrong; "car" doesn't belong to s sound–either the spelling is wrong or the example is wrong. The developer should goes through every sound and its instructions, then have experts do the quality check and release an update soon.
