Answers to the questions families ask us most — about reading, languages, pricing and your child’s privacy.
LoroBuddy is a read-aloud app for children aged 2–12. Loro, a friendly bird, reads any book or printed page out loud, sounds out tricky words, celebrates every win, and lets kids leave voice notes for the family — in ten languages.
Point your device’s camera at any printed page. Loro recognises the words and reads them aloud in a warm, friendly voice, highlighting each word so your child can follow along.
It’s built for children aged 3 to 8 — from pre-readers enjoying a story read aloud, to confident early readers practising on their own.
Loro reads and speaks in English, Spanish, French, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Cantonese, Russian, German, Portuguese and Italian. You can switch the reading voice with a single tap.
Yes. In Settings you can choose the voice and slow the reading speed down, so it matches your child’s pace as they grow.
