VoicePlay™ encourages active speaking engagement through voice-enabled language learning games

VoicePlay™ shifts that dynamic completely. Now kids are speaking Spanish from the start, using their voice to drive the learning experience.”
— Mark Pemberton, CEO of Studycat

HONG KONG, November 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Studycat, a leading developer of children's language learning applications, today announced VoicePlay™ for Studycat Spanish, a voice-enabled feature that encourages children to practice speaking through interactive learning games. The feature uses voice recognition technology to create hands-free gameplay experiences that help children build confidence in Spanish speaking.

Studycat first introduced VoicePlay™ to Studycat English earlier this year, where the feature received strong positive response from families and educators. The success of voice-enabled learning in the English app demonstrated clear parent interest in speaking practice features, leading to today's expansion to Studycat Spanish.

VoicePlay™ enables children to interact with learning games using their voice, providing real-time feedback that encourages continued speaking practice. The feature recognizes spoken Spanish and responds during gameplay, helping children develop familiarity with Spanish pronunciation and build speaking confidence through repeated practice.

"Most language apps keep children in passive learning mode—they listen, they tap, they repeat," said Mark Pemberton, CEO of Studycat. "VoicePlay™ shifts that dynamic completely. Now kids are speaking Spanish from the start, using their voice to drive the learning experience. That active participation builds real comfort with the language, and it positions Studycat Spanish as a truly comprehensive solution for families seeking effective language learning tools."

The technology combines voice recognition with speech processing optimized for children's vocal patterns. The system operates entirely on-device, requiring no internet connectivity and ensuring voice data never leaves the user's device—addressing privacy concerns while enabling real-time interaction during gameplay.

Key features of VoicePlay™ include:

- Voice-Enabled Gameplay: Interactive speaking activities integrated into learning games, encouraging children to practice Spanish words and phrases

- Child-Optimized Recognition: Speech processing adapted for children's voice patterns and developmental speaking stages

- Real-time Feedback: Immediate responses during gameplay to support continued speaking practice and engagement

- On-Device Processing: Complete voice recognition without internet connectivity or voice data transmission

"VoicePlay™ fundamentally changes how children interact with our learning games—no more just tapping the screen," said Mateo Solares, Chief Product Officer. "Kids speak, and the game responds instantly because everything runs on-device. It's hands-free gameplay that keeps the pace engaging and works anywhere, even offline. We've always designed for fun first at Studycat, and VoicePlay™ brings that playful speaking practice right into the heart of the experience."

The voice-enabled approach helps young learners practice speaking Spanish regularly rather than focusing solely on passive learning activities. By creating opportunities to speak during gameplay, children can develop greater comfort and confidence with Spanish pronunciation through consistent practice.

"VoicePlay™ creates regular speaking opportunities that many digital learning tools simply don't provide," said Jake Whilddon, Head of Learning at Studycat. "Children practice using Spanish words aloud and get instant responses, which builds their comfort level with speaking over time. Watching young learners become more confident speakers as they engage with voice-enabled activities shows how technology can meaningfully support active language development."

Studycat has implemented privacy protections including COPPA and HIPAA compliance standards. The on-device processing approach ensures voice data remains on the user's device throughout the interaction.

VoicePlay™ is available now in Studycat Spanish for iOS and Android devices through the App Store and Google Play Store.
