Baby Audio Diary
Read full descriptionHide full description
Baby Audio Diary keeps the first years of a child's life, written or spoken, and translated into every language the family reads. INVITATION ONLY There is no sign-up. An account can only be created with an invitation code from someone already in a family, and an account without a family sees nothing at all. This app is built for one family to use privately — it is not a social network and there is nothing public in it. WRITE OR JUST TALK Type a moment, or record it and let it transcribe itself. Add photos and video from your gallery or straight from the camera. EVERY LANGUAGE THE FAMILY READS Two parents rarely share a first language. Every entry is translated into each language the family has chosen, so nobody reads the diary in a language they merely tolerate. You can pin the language you dictate in — separately from your partner, who may speak another — and teach it how names should be written in each language so they are never mangled. A PHOTO A DAY One photograph per day builds a grid of the year, with a streak to keep it honest, a slideshow, and a video you can render and share. THE PRACTICAL THINGS TOO Growth measurements against the WHO percentile bands. Illness notes, temperatures and doses. Appointments with reminders. An emergency card with the paediatrician, the hospital and the poison control number, reachable in two taps. IT IS YOUR DATA Everything is stored in the European Union. You can export the whole diary as a single file at any time, save every photo and video into your own photo library, and delete your account and its data from inside the app. Baby Audio Diary is not a medical app and does not give medical advice.
