Coolphabets

iOS Universel / Education

Coolphabets helps children learn to read and write in their mother tongue through AI-powered handwriting recognition. Five Indian languages — Telugu, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, and Kannada — with more coming.

HOW IT WORKS
Every letter follows a 2-step learning path:
1. Tracing — guided practice with letter overlay, AI-graded
2. Free Draw — draw from memory with on-device AI grading and Tara the Star feedback

Children progress at their own pace. Each letter is mastered after 6 successful drawings — 3 traced and 3 freehand.

WATCH AND LEARN
Tap the play icon on any letter to see a short writing demo before practicing on your own. Available in all 5 languages.

PRACTICE TOGETHER
Parent and child learn side by side at the same device. Take turns drawing the same letter, race each other on speed, or switch into Silly Mode — where the parent draws wrong on purpose and the child catches the mistake.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

Kannada language finally lands for everyone, a whole new game and a stack of stability + speed fixes.

• New: Word Mixer — a fast-paced "find all the hidden words from these letters" puzzle. Solo mode times you against your personal best; Family Time Trial passes the device around so siblings and parents can race the same puzzle.
• Kannada is now available to pick when creating a child profile. We held it back in 1.2.9 for one more tuning pass; that pass is done.
• Tracing videos for Kannada — tap the play icon at the top-right of the canvas to watch a short demo of how each Kannada letter is written. Same feature you've had for Telugu / Hindi / Marathi / Tamil.
• Sharper Kannada handwriting recognition — model retrained on a larger, more diverse sample set (including a native-writer batch). Accuracy went from ~96% to ~98% on the held-out test.
• Memory Match works properly in Tamil and Kannada — every card now has its own distinct picture instead of a generic placeholder, so the match game is actually playable in those languages.
• High scores are per-child — Word Mixer best times are now saved per kid profile (previously one child's record could overwrite another's).
• Smoother gameplay — Word Mixer's clock no longer makes the whole screen redraw 10 times a second; animations stay snappy on older iPhones.
• Audio doesn't linger — if your kid quickly taps out of a screen mid-celebration, the word audio that was about to play correctly stops instead of speaking over the next screen.
• Purchase reliability fix — fixed a rare case where Apple's StoreKit returned a stale "success" for an already-expired subscription, briefly granting access then yanking it. The app now double-checks before celebrating a purchase.
• Cleaner language picker — the 5 available languages now show together at the top, and the "coming soon" ones below.
