Company Details
Sparkup is a book reader which when attached to a picture book reads aloud its content to the kid as he/she turns the pages. The reader needs to be configured with the books to work. Users can record their voice reading the book out loud and while recording, the reader's camera takes a picture of the book’s front cover and each page. Later on, when a child connects the reader to the book, it immediately recognizes its front cover and follows the child’s pace and reads aloud as he/she turns the pages. Also provides professionally read stories which can be downloaded from the library.
