About this app

It's dictation night and you're holding this week's word list, reading it aloud for the tenth time. LoroBuddy hands that job to Loro — a friendly little parrot who reads each word clearly, waits, and repeats on demand — so your child can practise while you keep both hands free.

★ SNAP THIS WEEK'S WORD LIST
Take a photo of any dictation or spelling list — a printed sheet, a textbook page, even handwriting — and LoroBuddy reads the text on-device and splits it into kid-sized chunks automatically. "Check the Words" lets you fix anything before practice begins.
• On-device text recognition — no typing
• Auto-segments into words or short sentences
• Tap to edit any word before you start

★ LORO READS IT ALOUD
Loro speaks each word with a clear, natural voice and waits for your child to write. Tap "Again" to repeat a word as many times as they need.
• Adjustable reading speed
• Repeat any word with one tap
• Choose word-by-word or full-sentence length
• Big, one-handed controls — built for holding the worksheet

★ MESSAGES IN YOUR OWN VOICE
Leave a little message for your child — a voice note, a photo, a word of encouragement — so practice feels like it comes from you, not from a machine.
• Record in your own voice
• Add a photo or a short note
• Messages are saved on the device

★ 7 DICTATION LANGUAGES
English, Cantonese, Mandarin (Traditional & Simplified Chinese), French, German, Spanish, and Russian — pick the language and voice that match the week's list.

★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN — MADE FOR KIDS
LoroBuddy is built for children and the parents sitting beside them.
• Works on-device — photos and word lists stay on your phone
• No accounts, no sign-up, no cloud
• A parental gate guards the subscribe screen
• No personal data collected, stored, or shared

★ MEET LORO
Your child picks Loro's colour — six to choose from, including pink — and Loro plays along through every round of practice.

★ FREE TO USE
LoroBuddy is free, supported by a single small banner. Prefer none? An optional upgrade removes ads — the practice features are always free.
