Day 3: Aphasia Word Reading Practice

About This Project

This mini-app is designed to help people with aphasia or other language difficulties practice reading and recognizing words. Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate, often as a result of stroke or brain injury. One common therapy approach is to practice reading words aloud and listening to their correct pronunciation.

The app displays a word on the screen and provides an audio button to hear the word spoken aloud. Users can practice reading the word, then play the audio to check their pronunciation or simply to reinforce word recognition. This kind of repetitive, multi-sensory practice can be helpful for language recovery and confidence building.

How it Works

• A word is shown in large, clear text.
• The user can press a button to hear the word spoken using the device’s speech synthesis.
• The user can practice reading the word aloud, then move to the next word.
• The app cycles through a set of common or therapy-focused words, allowing repeated practice.

This tool is designed to be simple, accessible, and supportive for anyone working on word recognition or speech therapy.

Creation Process

Create an accessible word reading practice app for aphasia therapy. Show a word, provide a button to play audio of the word using speech synthesis, and let the user move to the next word. Use large text and simple controls.
