Speak Emoji

A game to help the youngest children learn to talk. They tap an emoji, it grows, it dances, and the device says its name out loud. Animals, plants, food, sports, vehicles, objects and the whole world, in 113 languages. It is made for the hands of a two-year-old. There is nothing to read, nothing to break and no button that takes them out of the game. Every tap makes a sound, and the animals make theirs and walk, swim or fly, each in its own way. Hidden games show up while playing: • Shake the device and every emoji falls like a marble. Tilt it and they roll. • Double-tap an icon at the bottom to start a memory game, from 3 to 12 pairs. • In the food section, slide a fruit sideways and a fruit board appears: three in a row pop, and four make a dessert. • Tap the tropical fish while it's big and an aquarium fills up with sea animals. Tap it again and it swims: dodge jellyfish, octopuses and boats, level after level, from day to night. • The big cockroach and fly turn into dozens you can squash with a finger, and the butterflies fill the screen with a rainbow. • On the globe, an ant asks for a continent or a country to find. Get it right and its flag flies. For grown-ups, the settings sit behind a question a child who can't read yet can't answer. That is where you choose the language the game starts in, and find a guide to keep your child from leaving the app. With the flag button, kids can play in other languages. No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts and no internet. It collects no data at all. And it leaves out the grown-up emojis, like cigarettes, whisky or weapons.
