Word Tube: Speech Therapy App
Marijan Živić
**Help Your Child Start Talking. One Word at a Time.**
Word Tube is a speech therapy app for toddlers and young children with speech delay, autism, and preverbal communication challenges. Designed for nonverbal and minimally verbal children, it helps kids learn first words, express basic needs, and begin meaningful communication at home.
Created by a father of a child on the autism spectrum who couldn't find a simple, calm, and effective app for speech practice at home.
**Why Parents Choose Word Tube**
Your child is on a therapy waiting list. Or therapy is once a week and it's not enough. You want to do more at home but you're exhausted and don't know where to start.
Word Tube gives you a structured, calm way to practice speech and language skills every day. No setup. No complicated onboarding. Just open the app and start.
**What Your Child Can Practice**
- First words and early vocabulary (animals, colors, food, body parts, clothes, toys)
- Expressing basic needs: hunger, thirst, pain, tiredness, hot, cold
- Action verbs and everyday routines: eating, bathing, dressing, sleeping
- Emotions and feelings for early emotional communication
- Spatial concepts, opposites, and early categories
- Answering simple questions through interactive quizzes
Activities are designed as calm, repetition-based exercises. No loud sounds. No flashing animations. No overstimulation.
**Create Custom Exercises with Your Own Photos and Voice**
This is what makes Word Tube different from every other speech therapy app.
With Parent Mode, you can:
- Upload photos of your child's real toys, food, family members, and surroundings
- Record your own voice saying the words, at the pace your child needs
- Create personalized exercises that connect learning to your child's actual daily life
- Edit text and audio on any exercise card
No other app in this category offers this level of customization. For nonverbal children, familiar images and a parent's voice make the difference between engagement and frustration.
**Built for Nonverbal and Minimally Verbal Children**
Most speech apps assume the child can already attempt sounds. Word Tube doesn't. It was built from the ground up for children who are not yet speaking, focusing on:
- Receptive language: understanding words before producing them
- Visual learning: connecting images to meaning
- Repetition: the foundation of how children with autism and speech delay learn
- Predictable structure: reducing anxiety and building confidence
**Works Offline. No Ads. No Data Collection.**
- Download exercises and use them anywhere. Car rides, waiting rooms, therapy sessions.
- Completely ad-free. Nothing interrupts your child's focus.
- No data is collected from your child. No camera access. No tracking. Privacy first.
**Who Is Word Tube For?**
- Children with speech delay
- Children with autism or autism spectrum disorder
- Late talkers and preverbal toddlers
- Minimally verbal and nonverbal children
- Children with apraxia of speech
- Children with receptive or expressive language disorder
- Parents doing speech therapy exercises at home
- Families on therapy waiting lists
- Bilingual and multilingual families
**7+ Languages with Real Human Audio**
Word Tube supports English, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, German, Slovenian, and more. All audio is recorded by real people, not computer-generated speech. For bilingual families, your child can practice in both languages they hear at home.
**From a Real Parent, for Real Parents**
Word Tube was not built by a corporation or a product team. It was built by a father who sat at the kitchen table with his daughter, testing exercises with flashcards and picture books, before turning them into an app.
Every exercise exists because it helped a real child. That's the standard.
Note: Word Tube is not a replacement for professional speech therapy. It is a companion tool to support your child's speech and language development at home.
