Why SLPs are switching from Google Slides
Get your time back
A 20-card articulation deck takes hours in Google Slides. With templates and AI, it takes minutes here.
Actually interactive
Students don't just click through slides. They answer questions, drag items, record themselves, and get scored.
Built for speech therapy
Templates for articulation, minimal pairs, vocabulary, sequencing — not generic presentation templates.
