Talking Alphabet

Computers can serve as excellent learning tools for children. With the right applications, a child can master the alphabet or counting and have fun at the same time. Talking Alphabet makes it easy and fun for children to learn their ABCs and one-two-threes. The interface's simple and intuitive design makes this application an appealing toy for children of all ages.

Talking Alphabet is offered free of charge and it can be installed in just a few moments. It works on Windows Vista and all later editions and it is available for Mac OS X as well. The application's CPU usage is barely noticeable and it doesn't ask for any additional tools.

The user interface displays colorful buttons with the entire alphabet. Children only need to click a button and they will hear a narrator pronouncing the corresponding letter. Alternatively, they can press the buttons on the keyboard for the same effect. Numbers, from zero to nine, can be displayed on a separate window and they work just like the letters. It is also possible to play the ABCs song, by clicking a button, on the same interface.

The application includes a picture matching game as well. It displays a series of pictures, on a different window and if you click one, the same narrator will pronounce the first letter from their corresponding names. A fun feature is a basketball for the desktop. It can be moved anywhere on the screen by clicking and dragging and if you let go of the ball, it will bounce off the lower edge of the screen. You can also throw the ball if you want it to bounce harder.
