THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE PRACTICE

Interactive practice.
Therapist-connected care.

Camera-guided tongue exercises, speech pronunciation practice, personalized homework, and therapist review—connected in one platform, with clear boundaries around what the technology can do.

01 / CAMERA-BASED PRACTICE

Guidance for supported
visible movements.

The camera helps recognize selected tongue positions and movement directions during supported exercises. Rather than only watching a demonstration, the patient can receive feedback as they practice.

  • Set up: position the device, use good lighting, and keep the face and mouth visible.
  • Calibrate: follow the reference positions required by the selected exercise.
  • Practice: respond to exercise-specific prompts, repetition counts, or hold feedback where supported.

Not every exercise uses camera tracking. The camera cannot verify hidden tongue contact, measure tongue pressure or muscle strength, or clinically validate placement.

LOOK INSIDE THE EXPERIENCE

Five connected parts of practice.

Explore the supported workflows and the limits that matter for each one.

Supported exercises

Visible movement becomes practice feedback.

For selected tongue exercises, camera input helps interpret the visible tongue position or movement needed by that activity. Exercise rules use the supported signals to provide guidance, repetition counts, or hold feedback.

Recognition depends on a clear view of the mouth, camera position, lighting, and the selected exercise. Hidden contact, tongue pressure, and muscle strength are not measured.

02 / AUDIO-BASED SPEECH PRACTICE

A voice recording.
Another view of practice.

Speech pronunciation assessment is integrated through Azure Speech in supported word-practice workflows. The automated scoring remains experimental.

01

Choose and record

Practice a selected word using a compatible microphone. Supported activities record the attempt for assessment.

02

See available feedback

The integration can return recognized text, a word pronunciation score, and phoneme details when the service provides them.

03

Review with context

Saved attempts and available recordings can help the therapist understand practice. Automated results require professional interpretation.

Experimental assessment

Automated speech scores are practice feedback, not clinical diagnoses. A high word score does not verify the intended target sound, exact tongue placement, or a treatment outcome. Not every speech target or activity has automated scoring.

03 / VERIFIED PRACTICE INVENTORY

A library for speech
and myofunctional practice.

Speech targets and movement exercises serve different purposes. Camera recognition and pronunciation assessment apply only where supported.

49

Verified speech practice targets

The catalog includes single-sound targets, blends, and vocalic R. These are practice targets, rather than 49 distinct phonemes or a guarantee of scoring for every target.

  • Single sounds24
  • S blends7
  • R blends7
  • L blends5
  • Vocalic R6

Available words and word positions vary by target. No new targets or word lists are invented for this page.

Tongue & myofunctional exercises

Movement, holds, and practice activities

The listed core and newer exercises include:

  • Side to Side
  • Out / In
  • Spot / Down
  • Out / Spot
  • Straight Out Hold
  • Mouth Open / Close
  • Tongue Tip to Spot
  • Left Hold
  • Right Hold
  • Down Hold

The inventory also contains 8 experimental entries, including tongue-controlled game prototypes, and 2 coming-soon tongue-shape entries. These are not presented as generally available, validated exercises.

04 / FROM THE THERAPIST’S PLAN TO HOME PRACTICE

Assign. Practice. Review.

Homework connects the patient’s practice routine with the therapist’s next decision.

01

Assign

Therapists select exercises or supported speech practice, prescribe repetitions or hold times, and schedule homework.

02

Practice

Patients open assigned work, follow supported activities, and save attempts or completion information where available.

03

Review

Therapists inspect submitted work, available speech audio, completion status, and practice records to guide follow-up.

Progress describes practice. Completion counts, word scores, and camera measurements do not by themselves establish improved speech, correct technique, or a clinical outcome. Treatment decisions remain with the therapist.

05 / RECORDINGS, SUBMISSIONS & REVIEW

Clear about what is available.

Audio recordings, movement data, and playable video are different kinds of records.

Implemented in supported speech homework

Patient audio & therapist playback

Supported speech attempts can save an audio recording alongside assessment details. Therapists can play available recordings from submitted speech homework.

Recordings are accessed through permission-controlled storage and temporary signed links. A recording may be unavailable if it was not saved or an upload failed.

Availability to confirm

Patient exercise video

The camera’s live exercise preview and saved movement measurements are not the same as an uploaded, playable patient video.

Exercise-video submission and therapist playback require separate availability confirmation. This page does not advertise a generally available video-review workflow or use an illustration as proof that it works.

Availability statements describe inspected application workflows. They do not certify production configuration or clinical effectiveness.
