Clean looks

It takes nothing more than a simple installation process where you have to press on a few buttons in order to gain access to the GUI. The tool sports a clutter-free and intuitive workspace that won’t take much of your time to decode it. A help manual is also comprised in the package and includes several handy tips about the configuration process.

Configuration settings

SpeakABCs offers you the possibility to make the application read aloud the letters of the alphabet, numbers (from 0 to 9), or both letters and numbers. What’s more, you are given the freedom to perform simple clicks in the main window for jumping to the next or previous letter/number, hear its correct pronunciation, and view how letters are spelled with uppercase and lowercase characters.
In addition, you can change the looks of the GUI by adjusting the background color and altering the color of the text. The utility is also able to play the alphabet song.
A smart feature offered by SpeakABCs enables you to press a random key on your keyboard and listen to its pronunciation. In case you want to change the preset audio files, you may add your own recordings (WAV file format) to the folder where the program is stored.
Tests have pointed out that the utility carries out a task quickly and without errors. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the computer is not burdened. Preset hotkeys can be employed for faster actions.

Final remarks

To sum things up, SpeakABCs comes packed with several handy and intuitive features for allowing your children to learn the alphabet and numbers in an interactive way.
