Your child's first words. In your voice. In your language. SpeechyTalk turns your voice and your photos into flashcards, games and playful worlds for toddlers who are learning to talk. Built for families practicing speech at home, children working with a speech-language pathologist, and families raising kids in more than one language. WHY YOUR VOICE A young child learns best from a familiar voice saying a familiar word. In SpeechyTalk, every teaching word is recorded by you, in the language your family speaks. 12 WORLDS TO EXPLORE Farm, Ocean, Dinosaurs, Space, Jungle, Fairytale Land, Monster Trucks, Building Site, Trains, Grocery Store, House and Airport. Tap a dolphin, a jet or an erupting volcano and its word appears on the sign. Day turns to night, with stars and glowing lights. Record your own voice for the words your child taps. FLASHCARDS FROM YOUR WORLD Photograph your child's world (their dog, their cup, their grandma) and record yourself saying each word. Ready-made packs for colors, feelings, farm animals, the alphabet and numbers help you start right away. PHONICS WITH A FRIENDLY FACE See the mouth shape for every sound. Vowels are ready to go, and you record the consonants yourself so your child hears your accent and pronunciation. PRACTICE AND PROGRESS "Your turn!" invites your child to say the word after you. Practice scores compare your child's try with your own recording of the word. They are practice indicators to encourage you both, not a test or diagnosis. Recordings and scores stay on your phone. MORE TO ENJOY • Games: memory, word match, sound match, word builder and animal sounds • Music videos, radio songs and storytelling podcasts • Communication board with picture tiles your child taps to tell you things, in your voice • Bilingual and trilingual cards, in up to three languages • Scrapbook for new words and special moments • Draw and color • Sensory Mode: no flashing, calmer animation and quieter sound • Offline Mode keeps the home screen to games only • Child profiles (Family plan) • The whole app works in 26 languages FOR PARENTS Everything grown-up sits behind a parent check. SpeechyTalk is a home practice companion. It does not diagnose or treat speech conditions and does not replace a speech-language pathologist. PRIVACY FIRST Your child's photos and voice recordings stay yours. We never sell or share data with advertisers. No ads. 7-DAY FREE TRIAL Every account starts with full access for 7 days. The Farm stays free after the trial. SUBSCRIPTIONS • Individual: $4.99 per month or $34.99 per year • Family, up to 5 child profiles: $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
