With a unique and real-time feedback feature as well as complex tracing evaluation algorithms, LetraKid is not just another tracing app. This is a new approach, focused on creating a fun game by utilizing handwriting mechanics itself. This avoids using distracting random rewards or secondary game mechanics that can break and confuse the learning process, optimizing learning progress and educational appeal to children. The real time feedback will give both audio and graphic clues about the quality of the tracing and will adjust with difficulty level. Our tracing evaluation algorithms allow for an accurate and fun reward, using a 5 star rating for each exercise. This engages and motivates the kids to progress and to strive for more. DESIGNED for KIDS • No ads or irritating pop-ups. • No collection of personal data • Game settings are by default behind a parental gate. This can be disabled, but ensures a child to work with a certain font, formation rule, difficulty level and various other features for total specification to their needs. • External links are protected by a permanent parental gate.
