The new Yandex.Alice skill has been named and is a children's simulator for the development of speech, created with the participation of experienced speech therapists.

Each lesson lasts about five minutes, during which the child in an entertaining way practices the pronunciation of a particular sound.
The Easy to Say simulator is available in smart speakers with Alice and in Yandex mobile apps. To start it, just say: "Alice, turn on the skill" Easy to say "". Before using the simulator, it is recommended to consult with a speech therapist. This way, parents will know exactly what sounds to work on with their child.
