Every picture is a chance to say the word.
SpeakBright turns any photo into a colouring-book outline your little one traces — and hears the word said slowly and clearly. A calm, playful way to practise first words at home, built on speech-therapy basics.
What it does
iPhone + AndroidAny photo → a word
Snap a photo and it becomes a clean outline. Your child traces it and hears the word — in a warm, gentle voice.
Copy beside it
Picture on one side, blank canvas on the other. The speech-therapy method for pairing drawing with words.
783 traceable pictures
Twelve categories — animals, food, vehicles and more — ready to trace, colour and name. Animals make their sounds.
50 little lessons + cartoons
Counting, ABC, colours, shapes, animals, feelings — short animated lessons with a friendly voice, plus a shelf of gentle cartoons. All built in, no internet needed.
Sketch Pad & Lego Playground
Free drawing on plain, dotted or lined paper, and 50 simple brick builds taught one step at a time.
Sentences & Word Cards
50 sentence starters read back aloud, and talking flashcards made from your own photos.
Stars & rewards
Badges, a star grid and a progress bar — from First Star all the way to “{Name} the Legend.”
Free to start, safe by design
Free to begin, no ads, no accounts, nothing leaves the device. An “ask a grown-up” maths question keeps purchases out of little fingers.

how to use SpeakBrightType your child's name
The first screen asks for a name and lets you pick a boy, a girl, or skip. Everything speaks to your child by name from then on.
Photo → outline → word
Tap Trace & Speak, choose a photo, and it turns into an outline. Tap the speaker to hear the word; tap the paw to hear the animal. Use the LINES / PEN buttons, pick a colour and thickness, and CLEAR to start again. “Copy beside it” puts the picture on one side and a blank canvas on the other.
Pick a picture to trace
Choose a category chip, tap a picture, and trace it. The speaker button in the top bar mutes all sound when you need quiet.
Press play, then say it
Lessons play on their own and pause with ❚❚. Use ◀ ▶ to step through, and “Done ⭐” to earn a star. The Cartoons shelf sits at the top.
Tap, listen, build
Sentence Builder: tap a starter, tap a word, hear the whole sentence. Lego Playground: pick a build and follow one layer at a time — each step is read aloud.
