Developer Note:
=============
We provide a REAL kid’s voice (not just speech synthesis) because we want our app to be kid friendly app as possible. However if you think some of the pronunciation are not clear enough, please drop us an email (
[email protected]) and we will fixed them. All comments are very welcome. Also we did provide the great feature that you can replace all the recordings as you liked. If you need help with how to do it, go to http://playsmart-kids.appspot.com/
Finally, we really encourage all the parents to try using our setting feature, so your kids will learn more new words because we believe that the parent is the best teacher for their children. You can really choose what you want to match your child. However, this feature will be fun for the older kids too. They can enjoy creating their own words and recording their voices.
