What it does

01

Pictures that stick

Words and sentences are anchored to memorable visual archetypes, so they stay.

02

The parent’s voice

The parent says the words with the child; the app speaks them when the parent can’t.

03

Works offline

Content downloads once, then everything runs without a connection.

04

Adjustable

Voice, speed and theme settings, and a demo mode that shows how to use it.

The problem

Parents in the diaspora want their two-year-olds to hear first words in Albanian as well as the local language, and most apps need an account, a connection and a subscription.

What we built

A free tablet app that anchors words to memorable pictures, in English and Albanian, with more languages to come. Works offline, no account, and the parent's own voice is part of how the child learns.
