FAMILIAR PICTURES. A VOICE THEY KNOW.

Picture cards from your child’s world.

Create personal vocabulary cards with your own photographs and recordings.

One Word Closer (OWC) is a parent-guided Android learning companion. A card can show the cup your child uses, a favourite toy or a familiar family face—not just a generic illustration. You choose what appears, what the recording says and which activities to include.

Make a card in your own voice

  1. Choose one clear picture. Photograph an everyday object or use a photo you have permission to share. Avoid including private details in the background.
  2. Add a word or short phrase. For example, label a photograph “My shoes” and record those words naturally. Keep the recording short and easy to hear.
  3. Preview and approve. Look at the photo and listen to the full recording before approving it. You can keep unfinished content as a draft.
  4. Add it to a routine. Choose the approved card in your routine and publish the content to the paired child device. Saving a draft alone does not update its routine.

Start with 18 ready-made picture cards

The starter library includes Cup, Ball, Apple, Car, Spoon, TV, Fridge, Table, Stairs, Bed, Chair, Door, Shoes, Pyjamas, Shirt, Bottle, Toothbrush and Hairbrush.

These original illustrations come with synthetic British English audio. Preview and approve each card before use, or replace its voice recording with your own. Personal recordings can use your family’s language; the ready-made audio is English.

Four activities, chosen by you

1. Look and listen
A picture appears with its recording. No answer is required.
2. Choose a picture
The child hears a prompt and can choose between two pictures.
3. Match together
Use configured picture-matching activities with content you have reviewed.
4. Put in order
Arrange a short picture sequence prepared for the activity.

These are activity choices, not labels for a child’s ability. Parents choose the starting point and can change it. There are no levels to unlock and no forced progression. Matching and sequencing need the appropriate challenge content configured; selecting a level alone does not create it.

A presentation that suits the moment

Choose Plain, Train or Animals artwork. In the Train theme, the card travels with a friendly train, stops for the activity and leaves afterwards. Reduce motion keeps the artwork still. The child can close a card, and learning can be stopped on the device.

Reports describe presentations and interactions. They do not prove understanding or measure development. OWC is not speech therapy, a diagnostic tool or a replacement for professional support.
