A shared dictionary for little talkers
Your toddler's own words, understood by everyone.
Parents keep the dictionary. Sitters and grandparents type what they heard and get the meaning in their own language.
Setup
Who is learning to talk?
Pre-filled with a sample family. Everything stays private to the people you invite.
Noa's words
34 words only we understand
Translator
What did she say?
For sitters and grandparents. Type it how it sounded, or tap a picture.
New word
Add a word you just cracked
Tap to record (simulated in this demo). Hold the phone near her while she plays.
Family and carers
Everyone who looks after her
What Abuela Rosa sees
Meanings in Spanish first, English underneath, so she can talk to the parents about it too.
Invite another carer
Send a link that opens the translator only. No account needed for sitters.
Growth
Words over time
Retired words
When she starts saying the real word, her version is retired here. It is the part of this app parents say they will keep forever.
Coming up
Sunday: your monthly word recap, with a 20-second clip of every new word this month. "mog" is close to retiring: she said "more" 4 times this week.
Printable card set
A4, 6 cards a page, cut along the dashes. Stick them on the fridge for the sitter or post them to Mexico City.
Where this goes
No child goes un-understood.
Toddlers have a private language for about a year. Parents decode it, and everyone else gets tears. In three years Toddler Lexicon wants every carer in a child's life to understand them from day one.
Successful translations per week: moments a carer understood the child without calling a parent.
