Comparison

How StrokeVoice compares.

We respect the apps that came before us — Tactus Therapy, CueSpeak, Constant Therapy and Lingraphica's TalkPath all do real, useful work. Here is what each does well, where each one stops, and where StrokeVoice fits. Every claim below cites a vendor page, verified in April 2026.

“Partial” is used where a vendor offers something close but not a first-class feature — e.g. Tactus' Apraxia Therapy includes mouth-shape video for a small set of phonemes but isn't paired to its naming pool the way CueSpeak's library is, so we mark it Partial rather than ✓. We've tried to err generous.

Per competitor

What each one does well — and where it stops.

A fair, head-on read of each. None of these are bad apps. We've used several of them with our own family.

StrokeVoice

£12.99/mo · £99/yr

Practice + 2-way family messaging · iOS, iPadOS, Android

Strengths

The only app on this list that combines daily practice with two-way family messaging — your family doesn't need the app; messages arrive on their WhatsApp. AI conversation partner for low-pressure chat. Untrained-word probes, monthly CCRSA + CETI check-ins, and a carer dashboard that respects patient-controlled permissions.

Where we stop

Younger product than Tactus or Constant Therapy. Library is ~210 curated everyday items rather than the 13,500+ task pool Constant Therapy ships. No Mac or Web build today.

Tactus Therapy

$5 – $89.99 / app

Drill-style apps, one-time purchase · iOS, iPadOS, Android

Strengths

The most clinically respected suite. Apps are tightly-scoped, drill-rigorous, and well-evidenced — published research shows 20 minutes a day for four weeks produces measurable gains in chronic aphasia. Lite versions to try, no subscription. SLP Virtual Rehab Center adds clinician resources at $17/month.

Where it stops

One-feature-per-app design means you'll buy 3–8 apps to cover daily practice — bundle is $159.99. No two-way messaging. No AI conversation partner. Practice items are generic, not your own people, photos or messages. No real-time progress framing across apps.

CueSpeak

£9.99/mo · £132.99/yr · £399.99/3yr

Articulation-led, video-rich · iOS, iPadOS, Mac

Strengths

Best-in-class articulation library — 5,000+ mouth-shape videos broken down by syllable and phoneme. UK-developed with SLT input, so the content set fits UK English well. Strong Q&A, soundspell and sentence-sorter modules. Clinician edition (£999 one-off) for clinical settings.

Where it stops

Apple-only — no Android. No user-authored content (the catalogue is fixed; you can't add your own family names or photos). No two-way messaging. Carer view is informational rather than interactive. The 3-year licence is good value for committed users but a steep entry point.

Constant Therapy

$29.99/mo · $299.99/yr

AI-adaptive task pool · iOS, iPadOS, Android, Web

Strengths

Largest task library on the market — over 13,500 exercises across speech, language, cognition and reasoning, with AI-driven adaptive difficulty. Strong research backing through Constant Therapy Health. HSA/FSA-eligible in the US. Cross-platform including web. 30-day money-back guarantee.

Where it stops

Most expensive in the comparison ($29.99/month ≈ £23.50). Drill-and-task focus — no two-way family messaging, no conversation partner, no patient-photo personalisation, no WhatsApp bridge for carers. Strongly clinician-led: many users sign up via their SLP.

Lingraphica TalkPath

Free

Free task library · iOS, iPadOS, Web

Strengths

Genuinely free. Wide task library (speaking, reading, writing, listening, memory, reasoning) developed by Lingraphica's SLP team — the same team behind Lingraphica's AAC devices. A reasonable starting point if cost is the main barrier.

Where it stops

No Android. No personalisation, no messaging, no conversation partner, no longitudinal voice tracking. The free tier is a gateway to Lingraphica's paid AAC devices and clinical services, which is where most of the company's investment goes.

Where we sit

The honest summary.

What you'll find in StrokeVoice that you won't find — at least, not all together — anywhere else on this list.

Practice + messaging in one app

Every other app on this list does practice or messaging. We do both, so the words you rebuild today are the same words you use tonight to message your daughter.

Why it mattersGeneralisation from clinic to real life is the well-documented gap in aphasia rehab — practice without communication leaves words stuck in the practice context.

Family don't need the app

Messages from StrokeVoice arrive in your family's WhatsApp. They reply how they always do — no install, no account, no learning curve for them.

Why it mattersAdoption by the patient's circle is the silent killer of communication apps. We removed it.

An AI conversation partner

A patient AI to chat with on the days nobody is around — the kind of low-pressure, no-judgement talk that's hard to find when speech is slow.

Why it mattersConversation practice (CIAT-style) needs a partner. Most aphasia apps replace the partner with a drill.

Your own words, your own photos

Practice uses the names, places and photos that matter to you — your kids, your local café, your phone calls. Generic lists are a fallback, not the default.

Why it mattersPersonally-relevant stimuli show better retention and generalisation than generic word lists in published aphasia research.

Where StrokeVoice is honestly weaker

  • Library size. Constant Therapy ships 13,500+ tasks. We ship ~210 curated everyday items, ~200 pairs, ~30 verbs. Our bet is that depth and personalisation beat breadth — but it's a bet.
  • Track record. Tactus has decade-plus published evidence. We're newer; our outcomes data is being collected now via the same CCRSA/CETI measures clinicians already use.
  • Articulation video. CueSpeak's 5,000+ mouth-shape video library is best in class. We don't ship articulation video — if visual lip-shape cues are central to the work you're doing, CueSpeak is the better fit.
  • Mac and Web. CueSpeak runs on Mac, Constant Therapy and TalkPath on the web. We're iOS + Android only today. Mac/iPad shared cloud sync is on the roadmap.
