About

Little Talks

Read full description

Little Talks turns your family photos into a personalized word-learning experience your toddler will actually want to use. Most early learning apps show cartoon animals and play computer voices. But toddlers learn fastest from familiar things — the faces they love, their favorite toys, your voice saying their name. Little Talks puts your family's world at the center of learning. — FOR PARENTS — Set up in minutes, customize forever: • Upload photos of family members, pets, toys, food — anything your toddler knows • Record your own voice saying each word, in any language • Organize into custom packs: Family, Animals, Objects, or your own themes • Supports English and Vietnamese — FOR KIDS — Simple, joyful, pressure-free play: • Swipe through photo cards and hear familiar voices • Tap any card to replay the word — as many times as they want • Grid view lets them explore 3 words at a time • No timers. No wrong answers in Play Mode. Just curiosity. — CHALLENGE MODE — When they're ready for a little more: • 10-question picture quiz: "Which one is Grandma?" • Stars awarded for first-try correct answers — learning to listen carefully • Daily Challenge keeps the same set all day so kids know what to expect • Topic Challenge focuses on one pack at a time — COMPLETELY PRIVATE — • No internet required — works 100% offline, anywhere • No accounts, no sign-up, no servers • Photos and recordings never leave your device • No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. — TRACK THEIR PROGRESS — • See which words your child taps most often • Daily learning streak to build consistent habits • Session history shows which packs they played and for how long Little Talks is designed for toddlers aged 1–5, but it grows with your child. Add new words as their vocabulary expands. Build in two languages at once. Swap out old photos as they outgrow them. Your voice is the best teacher they'll ever have. Little Talks just makes it easy to use it every day.
