Alphababy for windows software#

The standard command-Q is disabled to prevent accidental quitting. Probably the most important action, as Laura points out, is turning AlphaBaby on and off. However, since the app is aimed at the little ones, it is up to you to set it up the right way, as well as turning it on and off, so you'll need to learn some commands. You can even tell AlphaBaby to speak the letters, numbers and geometrical shapes appearing on screen. Multiple preferences can be set, such as shapes, letters, or numbers only, whether you want the app to play sounds etc. “Unfortunately, they also have the habit of renaming my hard drive to 'axlfkaj.' So, I wrote AlphaBaby so they could safely use the Mac without inflicting too much damage!” “My kids love to play with the computer,” said Laura Dickey. By holding down the left mouse button and dragging it across the screen, kids can draw using stars, lines, squares, circles, ducks and trucks. Your own sounds and pictures can also be used. Every time something is drawn, sounds are played as well. Every time a key is pressed or the mouse is clicked, a letter or shape is drawn. I recently stumbled upon AlphaBaby, a free Mac app that can teach small kids letters, numbers, colors, geometrical forms and, of course, their names, in a very fun and easy way.īecause AlphaBaby lets the child do whatever he / she likes, not requiring any tasks from them, the app can be used even by infants, according to Laura Dickey, the developer of this simple, but fun program.
