Product Description: 

Mica is a visually stimulating app that responds to sounds. It is designed to assist with speech therapy and can be used to encourage children to vocalize and make sounds, either through the internal microphone or via an external microphone.

Main Features: 

  • It can be used for developing plosives and fricatives, as well as general cause-effect stimulation relating to a users voice.
  • The louder the voice sound, the bigger the shape or pattern becomes.
  • The size of the effects depend on the volume of the sounds, and the sliders can adjust for voice volume.
  • The colors of the effects change with the pitch of the sounds.
  • Fricative sounds (“sh” “zh”, “f”, “z”…) and plosives (p,t,k….) cause the shape of the effects to change.
  • Mica can be used to encourage users to make different sounds and to vary the characteristics of the sounds.
  • The minimum sound level threshold for Mica can be varied using the top slider, and also the range or sensitivity can be adjusted via the lower slider.
  • It can respond to alternative inputs such as a remote and throat microphones.
  • Apple AirPlay and Apple TV can be used to project Mica’s display to an external display or capture software.

Primary Specifications: 

  • Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
  • Requires iOS 9.1 or later.
