Thomas & Friends Talk to You is the latest app from ToyTalk Inc. Speech recognition technology allows kids (ages 3-6) to have a two-way conversation with Thomas and the Steam Team. The app literally works like a walkie-talkie. When the orange button appears on the screen, the child presses it to talk to Thomas. When the child lets go of the button, Thomas answers. The FREE portion of the app features a fun adventure on the island of Sodor. There are additional adventures available as in-app purchases. The app’s activities include: learning shapes, memory games, speaking & listening, singing, telling stories, solving a mystery, transmitting information, making silly noises, parts of speech, sharing & taking turns, and more. In order to enable speech recognition, ToyTalk Inc. needs to capture audio recordings of your child so parental permission is required. Parents can then access and control their child’s recordings from ToyTalk’s website: www.toytalk.com. If your child is a fan of Thomas and friends, make sure take advantage of this week’s  “launch special.” 🙂
