Release notes: Fixed the side button: when you let go after holding to ask about a character, it stops listening and looks it up even if the release signal is missed. Pull down from the top edge of the screen to see Wi-Fi, battery and phone connection, or to open Homework Buddy on your phone; the app ring (double-press) now only switches apps. Today's characters follow the time zone set on Tikpal Voice.

Requirements and about this app

Tikpal Voice must first be added in the Tikpal app on a parent's account. Asking needs Wi-Fi and uses Credits each time; the timer works offline.

Set it on the desk, add Tikpal Voice on your own account, and keep your child company through homework.

Turn the ring to set a study time from 5 to 60 minutes, and Yay works alongside; when time is up, a short break starts by itself, with a reminder when it ends.

Stuck on a character? Hold the side button and ask "How do you write 鹰?". It shows the character with pinyin and example words, and if it heard wrong you can switch to another; a few characters together work too, up to four at a time. Asking Yay the same thing opens it straight to the answer. Swipe right for the characters looked up today.

No recordings are kept: the voice passes through our servers only to be turned into text. Only after the parent agrees are the characters looked up and the focused minutes kept, on the parent's account: they are tidied up in Feed every morning, and Homework Buddy's page in the Tikpal app shows them too; ask Yay to clear Homework Buddy's records to delete them.
