The R Sound Study

Helping build a better speech practice tool for kids.

What this is

We’re researching how to automatically tell whether a child is producing the “R” sound correctly. To do that we need short recordings of children saying simple words like rabbit and red.

It takes about 6 minutes. You sit with your child and tap the buttons.

What happens to the recordings

  • Recordings stay on this device until you choose to send them at the end.
  • We ask for your child’s age only — no name, no birthday, no contact details.
  • Used only to develop and test the speech model. Never sold, never used for advertising.
  • Email us any time to have your recordings deleted.

This is a research recording tool. It is not a diagnosis and not a substitute for a licensed speech-language pathologist.

About your child

No names — this stays anonymous.

See how it works

Two quick words. Nothing here is saved — it’s a warm-up, and a chance to watch the app do its job.

Tap the speaker so your child hears the word, then tap Record while they say it back. They never need to read anything. The app then tells you which sound it heard.

How did your child say it?

You judge first — then we show what the app heard. That’s the only way to test it honestly.

All done — thank you
