Learn to Talk: Talking Cards

Talking picture cards for toddlers learning their first words, late talkers, children with a speech delay, and autistic and nonspeaking children. Every child has something to say. Talking Cards helps them say it.

Tap a picture and the word is spoken aloud, clearly and warmly, and the card is held up big so your child can look, listen and say it too. It supports a child's own talking; it never replaces it.

Free to start, with 194 everyday words. A grown-up can open everything for a free week — three times over — and for 15 minutes every day, always.

Made by a dad whose own child struggled to speak.

THE CARDS

• 1,742 picture words across 69 everyday categories: food, feelings, family, places and play

• Tap a card: it speaks, and it is held up big for a moment

• Every word is narrated in a warm, natural voice

• Big, clear cards, with adjustable card size and speaking speed

THE TALKING BOARD (AAC) — WHEN YOU WANT IT

• A grown-up can switch on the talking board: tap card after card and it builds a real sentence, with the grammar sorted out, then speaks the whole thing

• Yes, No and Help always one tap away, and an emergency board for the words that cannot wait

TYPE TO TALK — NEW

• Big letter keys that read aloud what your child types, with picture hints from their own cards

• Spell it (keys light up in order), Letter hunt, Copy the line, number keys — six languages, every key narrated

• Say It (English): see how a sound is made and try it

SIX LANGUAGES, ONE TAP

• English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Turkish and Nepali

• The pictures stay where they are when the language changes, so a child never has to learn where their words live all over again

• A bilingual mode for families raising two languages

FAMILY VOICES

• Record your own voice for a card, so a child can hear mom, dad or grandma say the word

• Those recordings are never uploaded

STORIES, GAMES AND PRACTICE

• 73 illustrated storybooks, written in each of the six languages — tap any word to hear it

• Twelve calm games: spelling, matching, sorting, counting, put-in-order, listening, a sing-along piano, and one that plays a child's own voice back

• Errorless by design — a wrong tap is never marked wrong, and the round simply carries on

• "Say it with me" practice that waits, and never rushes a child

THE QUIET PLACE

• A calm corner for a hard moment: a breathing buddy, a pop-it, a sand tray where a little friend draws pictures, a glitter jar, fireflies that come to your finger, and the child's own "what helps me" cards

LET'S TALK

• A buddy asks about your child's day and they answer by tapping cards — 26 subjects, from food and feelings to bath time and bedtime

• Eight little stories the child steers, including one told in chapters, a new one each day: Little Bear's Big Week

• A line to say together: one big card, one tap, and the child joins in

• A counting round built from the child's own cards, and a letter round for spelling

• A wrong answer is coached, never scored — the buddy counts along and asks again

• Free to try on the starter cards

FOR GROWN-UPS

• A quick check keeps little hands out of the settings, with an optional PIN

• Add photo cards of your own: a favorite cup, a toy, a person

• Hide cards, pin favorites, and print a paper board for days out

• First–Then routines to picture the day

• Back everything up to a file and restore it on a new device

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• The board works fully offline. No account, no sign-in

• No ads. No tracking. No usage analytics. No profile of your child

• Photos and recordings stay on the device and are never uploaded

• The internet is used only to complete a purchase or redeem a code

FREE AND FULL

Free to use with 194 core picture words, the emergency board and Family Voices. A one-time unlock opens the full vocabulary, the 73 storybooks, the twelve games, your own photo cards and routines. No subscription.
