Welcome to Baby's First Words. Do you know how many words your child is able to speak? Is your child on the right track in developing their vocabulary or are they experiencing a delay in speech? It can be difficult to track all the words your child is speaking, especially if your child is speaking thousands of words. This is where Baby's First Words excels at. Baby's First Words is a Speech Recognition based app. The intent of the app is to record the words your child is speaking. Either you record your child directly or you say the words yourself.
