“…Voice therapy is conducted for the training of voice production in controlling voice tone (pitch), intensity (loudness), and breath (continuity) (Saz, Yin, Lleida, & Rose, 2009). Conventionally, voice therapy is conducted based on mechanization (Navarro-Newball et al, 2014) and therefore it is hard to maintain a patient's motivation and attention during the therapy session, unavailable at home, and limited by the subjective evaluation of a therapist.…”

“…Serious games have been developed for purposes more than mere entertainment and increasingly applied in education, training, and healthcare; for example, some healthcare purposes of serious games include health monitoring, diagnosis, treatment, therapy, and rehabilitation (Wattanasoontorn, Boada, García, & Sbert, 2013). Therapists and patients have provided positive responses to the application of serious games to speech therapy (Grossinho, Cavaco, & Magalhães, 2014;Navarro-Newball et al, 2014;Vicsi, 1995). Examples of speech therapy games include Articulation Station (Little Bee Speech, USA), Dr.…”

Shtern, Haworth, Yunusova, Baljko, and Faloutsos (2012) reported that serious games increased patients' motivation and sustainment in speech therapy compared with the conventional therapy by providing immediate feedback and intuitive gaming scenarios.…”

Objectives:The present study intended to identify the needs and development directions of a serious vocal training game for better motivation and commitment of patients with voice disorder to voice therapy. Methods: A literature review, a survey of stakeholders' needs, and a benchmarking analysis of three vocal training games (Visi Pitch, Dr. Speech, and Vox System) was conducted. Results: From the literature review, thirteen game user experience scales (usability, narratives, play engrossment, enjoyment, creative freedom, audio aesthetics, personal gratification, social connectivity, visual aesthetics, accuracy, customization, game analytics, and therapy continuity) were identified for vocal training games and then applied to evaluation of the existing games. From the user experience scales, features not commonly implemented in the existing games include creative freedom (average satisfaction score, 2.5 to 4.3 out of 7), social connectivity (2.4 to 4.4), therapy continuity (1.7 to 4.7), and customization (2.5 to 5.0). Conclusion: The user experience scales would be of use to assess vocal training games, and new serious games need to be developed to complement the existing games in terms of the four scales found relatively lacking.

Background and Aims Digital games are among the treatment methods for speech disorders that serve purposes other than mere entertainment. These games have been used for different speech disorders at any age. This study aims to review articles that have used digital games for rehabilitating speech disorders. Methods This study was a scoping review. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched on February 28, 2022, to access the articles on digital games used in rehabilitation of speech disorders without any date restrictions. The search strategy was as follows: (“video game [MeSH term]” OR “computer game” OR “mobile game” OR “serious game” OR gamification [MeSH term]) AND (“speech pathology” OR “speech therapy [MeSH term]” OR “speech disorder [MeSH term]” OR stuttering [MeSH term]). Original interventional and observational studies in English were included. The data were extracted from the relevant articles, including the first author's name, year of publication, country, target group, participants, mobile device/computer‐based, type of game design, language level, number of sessions, and outcome. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results Of 693 retrieved articles, 10 articles were included in this study. Digital games were used for different speech disorders such as apraxia (20%), dysarthria (10%), articulatory hypokinesia in Parkinson's disease (10%), dysphonic disorder (10%), hearing disability (10%), phonological impairment (10%), and speech disorder in autism (10%). Most of the articles (60%) used a mobile device‐based game. Phonemes (30%), words (30%), and sentences (20%) were the most frequently used language levels in designing digital games. All the reviewed articles reported the positive effect of digital games on speech and the patients' motivation in therapy. Conclusion Digital games can improve patients' speech and motivation in therapy. Although studies showed the positive impact of digital games on speech disorders, personalized speech therapy should be considered in designing these games.
