Handpicked Software

AlphaBaby lets even infants and toddlers have fun playing with the computer.

My kids love to play with the computer. 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! Every time a key is pressed or the mouse is clicked, a letter or shape is drawn. Sounds can be played every time something is drawn.

Your own sounds and pictures can also be used. AlphaBaby helps kids to learn letters, plus provides a safe environment for kids to have fun “typing” on the keyboard!

Both an application and screen saver version of AlphaBaby are provided.

What’s New:

Version 1.5:

• New options to speak colors and match your own sounds to letters allow you to customize how letters are pronounced
