Practice speech every day, not just at your appointments.
ReSpeak is a free iPhone app for people recovering from stroke, aphasia, or traumatic brain injury. Your speech therapist assigns the exercises. You practice at home. They see your progress.
No subscription, no account required to start
Download the app and begin practicing immediately. Your speech therapist may set up a linked profile so they can see your progress between appointments.
Works on your schedule
Practice for 10 minutes or 30. Short daily sessions produce better results than long occasional ones.
Your therapist stays in the loop
Session recordings sync to your SLP automatically. No need to describe how the week went. They already know.
Designed for iPhone
Large text, simple navigation, landscape orientation for easier reading. Runs on iOS 17 or later.
Today's practice
3 exercises assigned by your SLP
Six exercises, all focused on aphasia
Your SLP chooses which exercises are right for you. The app guides you through each one step by step.
Picture Naming
Word retrieval
See a photo, name what you see. Hints appear automatically if you get stuck.
Listen and Repeat
Auditory-verbal
Hear a word, then say it yourself. A good starting point for severe word-finding difficulty.
Finish the Sentence
Sentence completion
Hear a sentence with the last word missing. Fill in the blank.
Finding Words
Cued retrieval
Retrieve a word with optional hints. Semantic cue first, phonological second if needed.
Spelling
Orthographic output
See a picture, type the word. Strengthens phonological representation through writing.
Read Aloud
ORLA protocol
Hear a passage, then read it yourself. Repeated reading builds fluency.
