Every sound makes magic.
Gentle voice and imitation practice for young children who are not talking yet, talk only a little, or are learning at their own pace, including autistic children and children with speech delays.
Coming soon to Google Play
Three ways to play
Every sound counts. There are no scores, no buzzers and nothing to get wrong.
Sound Spark
Milo the bear is fast asleep. A hum, a whisper or a big "aaah" wakes him up: he glows and blows bubbles. Quiet sounds make small bubbles; louder sounds make big rainbow ones.
Echo Safari
Pip the bird shows a sound and its mouth shape: Ah, Mmm, Oo, Ba, Ee, Ma, Oh and Da. As your child copies it, a flower grows and blooms, and new picture cards unlock.
My Cards
Tap a picture to hear the word: more, help, all done, yes, no, eat, drink, play, hug and more. Core words are always available.
A look inside
Calm colours on a dark canvas, big buttons, and spoken prompts, so no reading is needed.
For parents and therapists
The Parent Zone sits behind a question for grown-ups.
- Vocal Growth Tree: roots for every sound, branches for every day of practice, flowers for every sound practised.
- Weekly chart of play time and voice time.
- Mark a sound as mastered when you or your therapist hear it reliably. The app never decides this for you.
- One-tap PDF report to share with a speech therapist.
- Explore or Practise level, microphone sensitivity, calm mode, a daily time limit and speaking speed.
- Several children on one device, each with their own progress.
Private by design
- The microphone is analysed on the device and never recorded or uploaded.
- No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking.
- Optional cloud backup keeps progress safe if the device is lost, and can be switched off or deleted at any time.
- A nickname is enough. We never ask for a child's real name.
EchoSteps is an educational practice app. It is not a medical device and does not replace speech and language therapy.
