Who is playing?

The name is used for Spell Your Name and to pick which letters to teach first.

🦉

How do you say the name?

Space records and stops by itself when you finish. Enter keeps it. If you skip, Klaw just says hello without the name.

Use ← → and Enter, the number keys, or click a card.

Stage 1 done!

?
M

The sound of M

“mmm”

Space records; it stops by itself when you go quiet. Enter = next, ← = back, P = play, Delete button to redo later. Quiet room, normal voice, close to the microphone, same tone for every line.

All done! Great job!

Record your own voice

Record a whole voice (Mom, Dad) line by line: every prompt, letter, sound and word the app says. Start with the child's name and the letter sounds (five minutes); the full script is about 350 lines, 35 to 45 minutes. Pick the voice to use under "Whose voice" above.

Or record a single phrase below into the selected voice. Recordings are shared by all children and live in this browser; export them from the recorder to keep a copy.

About

Privacy

Nothing leaves this device. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no third-party scripts, and the app never contacts a server except to load its own files. Progress is saved in this browser’s storage. Voice recordings a parent makes stay in this browser too; a parent can export or delete them at any time from the parent screen. Full text: PRIVACY.md.
