Why it works
Why Australian Teachers Choose SoundSnapp
Sounds Like Australia, Not America
When kids are learning to decode words, every sound matters — and an American accent teaches the wrong sounds. SoundSnapp was recorded with a clear, natural Australian voice so students hear phonemes the way they'll actually say and read them. No more pausing a lesson to explain why the app “sounds weird.”
Up and Running in 30 Seconds
There's no account to create, no app to install, and no IT request to submit. Just open SoundSnapp on your browser — whiteboard, iPad, laptop, or phone — and you're ready to teach. It works on any device with a screen and an internet connection, so there's nothing standing between you and your lesson.
Matched to the Australian Phonics Sequence
SoundSnapp's scope and sequence is built around structured literacy principles and aligns with Australian phonics frameworks, including the requirements of the Year 1 Phonics Check. SoundSnapp complements any structured literacy approach your school uses, fitting straight into your existing phonics program without any setup.
Know Exactly Where Every Student Is
Assessment Mode lets you run individual phonics checks and records each student's responses automatically. You'll have a clear picture of who has mastered each sound and who needs more support — without a clipboard or a stack of running records. The data lives in SoundSnapp so you can pull it up any time for reporting, parent conversations, or planning your next small group.
Available with a school licence — $199 AUD/year for the whole school.

Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What year levels does SoundSnapp cover?
SoundSnapp covers Foundation through to Year 6, with phoneme sets that progress from the earliest consonant-vowel sounds right through to complex digraphs and vowel patterns. It's designed to support explicit phonics teaching across the full primary school range, including early intervention for older students who are still consolidating foundational sounds.
Does it work on iPads and interactive whiteboards?
Yes — SoundSnapp runs entirely in the browser, so it works on any device with an internet connection and a modern browser. That includes iPads, interactive whiteboards (like SMART Boards and Promethean panels), Chromebooks, Windows laptops, and MacBooks. No app installation or special software is required.
Is there a free version for individual teachers?
Individual teachers can start a 7-day free trial with full access to all features — no credit card needed. After the trial, there's a paid individual plan that keeps you going. If you're part of a school that holds a SoundSnapp School Licence, all teachers at that school get full access included.
How does the 7-day free trial work?
Sign up and you get immediate, unrestricted access to everything SoundSnapp offers — Whiteboard Mode, Assessment Mode, and the full phonics scope and sequence. The trial runs for 7 days from the moment you start. There's no credit card required to begin, and you'll get a reminder before it ends so you can decide whether to continue. If you upgrade to a school licence during your trial, the remaining trial days carry over.
What does the school licence include?
A SoundSnapp School Licence is $199 AUD per year and covers all teachers at your school — no per-seat fees, no complicated admin. Every teacher gets full access to Whiteboard Mode and Assessment Mode, plus priority support and any new features we release during the licence period. It's the most cost-effective way to roll out structured phonics tools across your whole staff, and it's easy to get approved: one invoice, one annual payment.
