Talk out loud
No typing. Just a child and a friend who listens.
Your child taps the mic and talks to Umiko in English, Hindi or Hinglish. Umiko answers out loud in a warm voice, two or three sentences at a time, and always ends with a question back. Children from five can use it before they can read.
Rivers carry tiny bits of rock and salt down to the sea, and the sun takes the water back up but leaves the salt behind. What do you think happens to the salt after a thousand years?
Exactly, Aarav. You just worked out why the sea is salty all by yourself.
How it works
Tap the mic and talk
Umiko listens in the language your family speaks and stops when your child goes quiet. Nothing is recorded or kept: the voice clip becomes words and is gone.
Umiko answers out loud
Short, warm answers in her own voice, and every one ends with a question back, so your child does the next bit of thinking.
Every word is checked
What your child says and what Umiko says back both pass Umiko's safety checks before anyone hears them, and the whole chat is in your parent view.
FOR PARENTS
You can read every conversation.
Nothing your child says to Umiko is private from you. The full exchange sits under What they did, and the evening WhatsApp note tells you what they were curious about.
