Store description excerpt

Do you know the word — but can't quite get it out? Tip of the Tongue is a simple, private practice tool for people living with anomia or aphasia after a stroke. It helps you train your brain to retrieve words that have become difficult to recall. How it works You build a personal word bank with the specific words you struggle with — place names, people's names, everyday objects, anything. Each word gets your own description and an optional sound hint. During a practice session, the app shows you the description. You try to say the word aloud. Then you tell the app how it went — or, if you prefer, tap "Say it" and let it listen, or type what you came up with. However you answer, you are always the one who decides whether you got it. Words you find difficult come back sooner. Words you recall easily come back less often. This approach, called Spaced Retrieval Training, is an evidence-based technique used in speech-language therapy to strengthen word retrieval. Help, one step at a time Stuck on a word? You choose how much help you want: - A clue about the meaning — enough to think your way there, never the answer itself - The category the word belongs to - The sound of the word, spoken aloud: how it begins, its syllables, how it ends Clues are written on your iPhone by Apple Intelligence's on-device model, using your own description of the word. Nothing is sent anywhere to produce them. (Clues need an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence; the rest of the app works on any iPhone.) Designed for simplicity - Large, readable text throughout - Calm interface — no points, no badges, no pressure - Reminders through the day, so a word gets a moment when you have one - Add a word the moment it escapes you — from a reminder, or by asking Siri - Works offline, always Your data stays on your device Tip of the Tongue stores everything locally. No account. No cloud. No data ever leaves your phone — not your words, not your voice, not your clues. Speech is recognised on your device and no audio is ever saved. Your word list is private. Who it is for - Stroke survivors with word-finding difficulties (anomia or aphasia) - Anyone who wants to practise recalling specific words - Caregivers helping a loved one build their practice habit Tip of the Tongue is a practice aid, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. For a personalised rehabilitation programme, please work with a qualified speech-language pathologist.
