Practice is a speech practice tool available on your Lingraphica device. It includes videos that show how the mouth moves to produce speech sounds, words, and phrases. You can watch and listen to each example, then practice saying it aloud.

Practice is designed for independent, repeatable speech exercises. It can be used on its own or as part of a home exercise plan recommended by a speech-language pathologist. It does not replace speech therapy or an individualized treatment plan.

Open Practice

1. From the Home screen, select Therapy.

2. On the Therapy screen, select Try it out under Practice. TalkPath Therapy can still be accessed by pressing Open TalkPath Therapy.

3. Practice will open on the Overview screen.

Choose How to Check Your Practice

Before beginning an exercise, you may be asked how you want Practice to respond to your spoken attempts.

Auto-check

Auto-check uses Pronunciation Feedback (Beta) to provide supportive feedback after you say a word or phrase. You remain in control and can change the result by selecting Mark correct or Mark incorrect.

Auto-check is available for supported words and phrases. Sounds and blends in isolation use Self-check because individual sounds cannot be scored reliably.

Self-check

With Self-check, you decide how the attempt went. After speaking, select the positive or negative response that best matches your attempt. You can then repeat the exercise or move to the next one.

If Auto-check is unavailable, such as when the device does not have microphone permission or an internet connection, Practice may switch to Self-check automatically

Each exercise includes a sound, word, or phrase to practice.

1. Watch the Mouth Position Video.

2. Listen to the example.

3. Select the microphone button when you are ready.

4. Say the sound, word, or phrase once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Practice replace the tools I already use?
No. Practice supplements speech therapy by giving SLPs and people with communication challenges engaging exercises to use together or independently. Lingraphica’s Therapy tool remains available alongside Practice, so you can use both and adopt Practice at your own pace.

Will history from Therapy be carried over to Practice?

No. Practice is a separate tool, so you can start fresh and work toward new goals.

What exercises are currently available on Practice?

Mouth position videos are available now. More exercises will be released over the coming year.

Who can use Practice?

Practice is available for users who have Lingraphica devices with the Hub software.

Do I need an internet connection?

You can browse exercises and use Self-check without an internet connection. Auto-check requires an internet connection to process Pronunciation Feedback (Beta). If connectivity is unavailable, Practice may switch to Self-check automatically.

Why isn’t Auto-check available for every exercise?

Auto-check supports certain words and phrases. Isolated sounds and blends use Self-check because individual sounds cannot be scored reliably.

Is my recorded audio saved?

No. Audio is processed to provide feedback, but it is neither stored nor used to train models.

What happens if Practice cannot access the microphone?

Auto-check requires permission to use the device microphone. If microphone permission is unavailable, Practice may switch to Self-check automatically so you can rate your own attempt.

Can I switch between Auto-check and Self-check?

Yes. In Settings, open Results Mode and choose Auto-check or Self-check. You can change this selection at any time.

Can I continue where I left off?

Yes. From the Overview screen, select Resume to return to the last item you practiced. You can also bookmark exercises and find them again in the Bookmarks section.

How is progress measured?

The Progress screen shows completed exercises, total practice time, exercises completed in each category, and minutes practiced in each category. Accuracy is not tracked in this first release.
