Speech practice games for little voices

Your child's voice moves the game. Hold a long "ssss" to blow up a balloon, say "p p p" to drive a little car, keep a steady voice to fly a rocket. Five minutes a day, with a grown-up nearby.

Hi! I'm Pip!

How it works

Short, playful turns that follow the way speech therapists practise sounds: sound alone, syllables, words, phrases, then sentences.

  1. Talk

    Your child says the sound or word Pip asks for. Pip says it first, so they know what to try.

  2. Pip listens

    Pip checks each try on the phone, offline. Not quite? Pip says it slowly, shows how to make the sound, and gives one more go.

  3. Games move with your voice

    A long sound fills a balloon, short sounds hop a frog, a steady voice flies a kite. The voice is the controller.

  4. Stickers and levels

    Pip hatches and grows as sounds get right. Eight of the last ten right moves up a level. Stickers and a gift end each session.

Six voice games

Each one turns a different kind of voice into play: long sounds, short bursts, or a steady voice.

  • Balloon

    Hold the sound to blow up the balloon.

  • Car

    Each sound moves the car along the road.

  • Rocket

    Keep a steady voice to fly to the stars.

  • Flower

    Hold the sound to water the flower and make it bloom.

  • Frog

    Each sound makes the frog hop to the next lily pad.

  • Kite

    Keep a steady voice to fly the kite high.

Plus quiet tap games for a play break

After practice, little hands get a rest from talking.

  • Memory match the pictures
  • Pip's Puzzle drag the pieces
  • Sound Train find the same first sound
  • Feed Pip tap the treats
  • Bubble Pop Pip Plus
  • Star Catch Pip Plus

For parents and carers

Five minutes a day, with a grown-up nearby. Pick the sounds your child is working on: p, b, m, t, d, k, g, f, s, sh, ch, l, r and th.

No ads during practice

A short, child-safe ad may appear only between games, never while your child is talking. Non-personalized, no advertising ID. Pip Plus removes them.

No accounts

No sign-in, no email, no social features. Open it and play.

Works offline

Practice runs fully on the phone, so it works on a plane, in the car or with Wi-Fi off.

The voice stays on the phone

Words are checked by the phone's own offline speech recognition. Your child's voice is never sent to us or anyone else.

In the grown-up area (behind a parental gate)

  • Progress for each sound and step
  • "Then vs Now": hear a good try from this week next to an older one
  • Tips for each sound: how to make it and how to judge a try
  • A PDF report of the last 30 days to share with a speech therapist
  • "Grown-up checks each try" if you prefer to judge yourself
  • Mic test, tap mode for phones without a working mic, and a backup file you keep

Honest about what it is

Pip Talk is a practice tool, not therapy or a diagnosis. It was designed with input from a speech-language pathologist. If you are worried about your child's speech, talk to a speech-language pathologist.

Phone speech recognition is built to understand what a child means, so Pip's "right" means "understandable", not "every sound perfect". For precise practice, switch on "Grown-up checks each try".

Read the privacy policy

For speech therapists

Families can link the app to you with an 8-character code. You see daily practice counts for each sound and step: right, almost and not yet. The link is off unless a grown-up turns it on.

  • Aggregated daily counts only: no names, no audio, no words the child said
  • The family can stop sharing at any time, and the shared data is deleted
  • Families can also share a 30-day PDF report with you

Questions

Is Pip Talk speech therapy?

No. Pip Talk is a practice tool, not therapy or a diagnosis. It helps children practise sounds at home between sessions, or for fun. If you are worried about your child's speech, talk to a speech-language pathologist.

What happens to my child's data and voice?

Everything stays on your phone. Speech recognition runs on the phone, offline, and the voice is never sent anywhere. There are no accounts and no tracking tools of our own. Between games, Google AdMob may show a child-safe, non-personalized ad; to do that it receives basic device data such as the IP address, never your child's voice or practice. The only optional exception: a grown-up can choose to share daily practice counts (no names, no audio) with the child's speech therapist, and can stop at any time. Details in the privacy policy.

What does it cost?

Pip Talk is free, and all speech practice stays free. It shows a short, child-safe ad only between games (after a play-break game or at the end of a session), never during practice, and at most one every few minutes. Pip Plus is an optional one-time purchase that removes all ads and adds extra play-break games, buddies and sticker pages. It is only offered in the grown-up area.

Which devices does it work on?

Android phones, from Google Play. Word checking uses the phone's offline speech model for English; on Android 13 and newer you can download it from the phone's Settings. Without it, Pip judges tries by voice length and steadiness. No working microphone? Use tap mode and the grown-up rates each try.

What age is it for?

Children about 3 to 7, playing with a parent, carer or teacher nearby.
