## What is Say It with Kohaku?

"Say It with Kohaku" is a speech-recognition vocabulary app designed for toddlers ages 2–6. Children speak everyday words aloud and Kohaku the dog confirms their pronunciation.

【Speak to Play】
When your child says the word into the microphone, Kohaku the dog checks if they got it right.

【6 Categories with a Wide Vocabulary】
- Shapes (FREE TRIAL): circle, triangle, square, star, heart
- Colors: 11 colors
- Vehicles: car, airplane, bus, ship, train
- Animals: dog, bird, butterfly, fish, flower
- Food & Fruits: apple, banana, bread, rice ball, pizza, and more (10 items)
- Everyday Items: hat, clothes, socks, glasses, toothbrush, umbrella, bag, book, clock, stuffed toy

【Animals with Real Sounds!】
When your child correctly pronounces an animal name, they hear the real sound of that animal — a fun reward that makes learning memorable.

【Privacy First】
On-device speech recognition by default. No recording, no data sent. Ad-free and COPPA-friendly.

【Game Modes】
- Sequential / Random order
- Practice only words you got wrong
- Timeout: 10s / 30s / 1min

【In-App Purchases】
All one-time purchases (no subscriptions)
- Individual packs: $0.99 each
- Complete Set: $2.99 (save about 40% vs individual)

【Voice Recognition Setup】
