Description: ArtikPix is an engaging articulation app with flashcard and matching activities for children with speech sound delays. Since the app includes child friendly language, you don't have to be a speech-language pathologist to facilitate practice. Children use ArtikPix to practice sounds independently, with a speech-language pathologist or their parents.

Utilizing fun and modern graphics, ArtikPix has a deck of "th" cards with features such as recorded audio, voice recording, and data collection. In app purchases enable all features with a total possible 21 decks with 40 cards each (113 cards in r deck, 913 total cards) for the following sounds: th, f, v, ch, sh, k, g, s, z, l, r, s-blends, r-blends, l-blends, p, b, m, n, t, d, j. The decks are combined, selected for sound group (e.g., beginning th, er), then practiced in full-featured flashcard and matching activities.

In the flashcard activity, the sound groups are ordered and configured for shuffling to individualize practice for children using the words alone and in sentences. The flashcards are then practiced in an easy-to-use flick album. In the matching activity, the words are randomized in easy (3 pairs), medium (6 pairs), and hard (10 pairs) levels. The matching activity is a fun way for children to practice their speech sounds while data is still collected.

The flashcard and matching activities include the following features:
combine card decks and specify ordering
choose sounds groups (e.g., beginning th, er) to practice
color coded cards
auto-play of audio recordings
tap-to-play audio
record your voice and play the recording (external
mic/earphones with mic needed for iPod touch prior to 4th generation)
collect data by tallying for specified sound groups (e.g., beginning th, er)
tallied data is automatically converted to percentage based data
save data in the app with timestamp
copy data to clipboard, email, and Google Spreadsheet
configurable options for app sounds (e.g., audio recordings) and visuals (e.g., hide matched cards, unmatched card delay)
