Flash Vocal — Multiplication is available on iPhone and iPad

Flash Vocal — Multiplication is on the App Store. It gets children to say their times tables out loud, until "seven times eight, fifty-six" comes without searching.

What the child does

A card appears: "7 × 8 = ?". The child says "fifty-six". The app listens, validates, and the next card appears. No keyboard, no buttons during the session.

A child who taps an answer can rebuild it by adding 7s one after another. A child who answers out loud, at a steady pace, no longer has the time: they know their table, or the hesitation can be heard. The app only validates an answer that is genuinely spoken, and it measures the time of each answer: a table that is "known" but recited slowly shows up in the statistics.

A session lasts one minute. At the end, the child earns one, two or three stars depending on the number of correct multiplications.

A path of 44 steps

• Two warm-up steps, ×0 and ×1, earned from the start: they open the path.
• The eleven tables, from ×2 to ×12, in the order they are learned: ×2, ×5 and ×10 first, the tables with a pattern, then ×3, ×4, ×6, ×7, ×8, ×9, and finally ×11 and ×12.
• Each table in two halves (from 0 to 5, then from 6 to 10), then a review of the whole table.
• Nine cumulative reviews that mix all the tables learned so far, up to the last one, which brings them all together.

At the first session, a short demo ("2 × 3 = ?") shows how to answer.

What you follow

• The result screen: how the session went, a pace indicator (animals, bikes or racing cars, the child's choice) and how the child felt about it.
• Statistics, table by table, with the reaction time and the pronunciation time of every answer: enough to see that ×7 and ×8 still resist when ×2 is secure.
• An optional daily reminder, which only fires on days without a session.

Who it is for

• Age 7: the ×2, ×5 and ×10 tables, the first patterns.
• Age 8: every table up to ×9.
• Age 9: at speed, plus the ×11 and ×12 tables.
• Remediation: filling a missing reflex, whatever the age.
• Teachers: up to 30 pupils tracked separately, with the Education subscription.

No connection, no account

Speech recognition runs entirely on the device. No speech is ever transmitted, no recording is kept. No ads, no account, no tracking.

The app speaks the device's language, among sixteen: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Turkish, Catalan, Ukrainian, Russian, Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese. If the voice for your language is not already in the app, it downloads once; after that, everything works offline.

Free to start

The ×2, ×5 and ×10 tables, their cumulative review and the first half of ×3 are available without a subscription, with no time limit and no cap on sessions, for one profile. The Family (3 profiles) or Education (30 profiles) subscription opens the whole path; it runs for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year and can be cancelled at any time.
