### 5/5 — 文字と音の認識障害のリハビリに役立ってます

*2024-08-04, version 1.5*

脳内出血の影響で左脳の機能に障害を負い、文字と音の関連性の認識ができなくなった母のリハビリに役立ってます。ありがとうございます。ムダな機能や絵などがなくとってもシンプルで見やすく使いやすく、大変、リハビリに役立ってます。感謝です。

できましたら数字認識のために押した数字の音の出るの文字の大きなシンプルな計算機アプリ作って欲しいです。

ほがおに聞こえたり
子供が聞いて覚えると
絶対間違える

### 3/5 — 「ほ」の発音が

*2022-05-08, version 1.4*

「ほ」が「お」に聞こえます。
ここだけ直してほしい。

### 4/5 — いつも活用。お願い。

*2020-12-31, version 1.4*

子どもたちがひらがなを聞いてくるときに、
ペンと紙がなくても、伝えられるので、とても便利で、活用しています。
ただ、ゴシック体なので、さ、き、ふなどの字に違いがあります。
教科書体に変更していただけると、正しい字体を覚えられるので、嬉しいです。
ぜひ、よろしくお願いします。

もう一点、
選んだ文字が、50音表よりもう少し大きいサイズになると、わかりやすいです。

検討よろしくお願いします。
