Program shows the patient a letter, word, or picture and the patient responds by choosing or typing an answer. If the answer is incorrect, program gives the patient helpful hints.
Aphasic patients use it independently, thanks to special features, starting with relearning the alphabet then identifying objects by matching a word to a picture. At the highest levels, patient types the name for everyday things like "apple" or "watch" or "clock".

Motivate the patient by showing them how well they're doing with automatic progress tracking which saves the results of each session are saved, to a file. You can print this or copy it into other documentation. Limited to a single patient. For unlimited patients, see Pro version
Make faster progress with repetition practice.
Repeat the first 20 questions 5 times, or repeat as many questions as you like as many times as you like. You can also control the length of the lesson without repetition, such as having a 25 exercise lesson. (Bungalow programs have so many exercises we've found that even one lesson can be too much for a patient to do in one sitting.
Do memory training. You can set the program to display the cue to display temporarily or until they press any key. Then the cue disappears, and the question appears.
