Talking Cards: Learn to Talk
Words, stories, games for kids
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Every child has something to say. Talking Cards helps them say 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.
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. Made for late talkers, children with speech delays and autistic children — and for every child learning their first words. It supports a child's own talking; it never replaces it.
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
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
• An alphabet you can hear
THE QUIET PLACE
• A calm corner for a hard moment: a breathing buddy, a pop-it, a sand tray, a glitter jar and fireflies
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
• Written in each language, not translated: an Arabic child is offered dates, a Turkish child a simit, a Nepali child rice and dal
• 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
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.
Made with love, for the children who are still finding their words.

Ratings & Reviews
New: 69 picture cards, each with its own picture and a narrated word in all six languages: foods, farm animals and pets, sea animals, bugs, musical instruments, shopping, sports and make-believe. A new Space category with the Sun, the Moon, every planet and Pluto. And a new storybook, Hello, Planets!: a short trip past each planet, read aloud with each word lit up as it is read.
