I am back with an app review & giveaway from Mobile Education Store! You know I am a huge fan of Kyle's apps and this one, Speech Journal, is no exception. I actually won this app in code drop last summer, and I love it! There are so many uses! Check it out…
Speech Journal is a super easy to use app for iPad that allows you to make recordings paired with your own pictures…like a journal, but better!
When you start up Speech Journal, your are greeted by a familiar welcome screen if you own other MES apps. You choose your user here, as well as your other settings. Also, you will see at the bottom there is a link to watch a video tutorial. I always recommend watching these before you start using an app.
Once you have chosen a profile, you will choose an image. You can opt to use a photo from your library or take one with your iPad camera.
Then you record…not too hard right? (p.s. Isn't my model adorable? I might be partial :))
Once you are finished recording, this menu pops up. As you can see, there are options to continue, save, erase & re-record, play current recording, or choose another image. Once you finish with all of you pictures and recordings, you can play a slideshow! It is really cool! They are all saved in the user profile under archive for easy access and progress monitoring.
I can think of many different skills to target using this app…
- sequencing
- narratives
- syntax
- social stories
- schedules
- language samples
- articulation/fluency/voice carryover
The list goes on and on! I really can't think of any way to improve this app, I really like it the way it is. No frills and good for what it does. You can find Speech Journal for only $1.99 in the iTunes Store…but you can also win a copy here! Enter via the Rafflecopter below and good luck!

This would be nice to try with my cluttering student in addition to my story retelling & narrative developing students
I could see myself using this most for my artic and fluency kids.
I think this would be great for sequencing and fluency kiddos.
My students would love this!!!
This would be great for my artic, fluency and language kids! they would love it!
I would do some modeling for my preschool autistic students.
I would use this with my language students to work on sequencing.
I like that you can save it under different users for organization purposes.
I think it would be great for taking pictures of the community field trips my autism class takes and then using them to sequence.
I would probably use this a lot for language samples or when needing to record the student’s sample when using the TNL. This could be great for having the student rate his speech to help with awareness. Very cool and a great price!
This would be such a fantastic tool to use for fluency. That biofeedback is so helpful for some kids!
