Sounds of English App was originally envisioned as a tool to assist some people on the autistic spectrum to become familiar with the fundamental sounds of English language.
Sounds of English App helps a learner with the following
-monothongs, diphthongs and consonants awareness

-categorization of sounds by their place of articulation
-mental representation of each phonological unit with a unique icon
-awareness that a sequence of sounds make spoken words
Sounds of English App also includes diagrams which show the approximate positions of speech organs for creation of 43 sounds of English.
