tiptoi is a completely new learning system, which allows children to discover the world in a playing way.
If the child tips on a picture or a text, you can hear sound, a voice or music.
The heart of every tiptoi game or tiptoi book is this orange pen,...
... which contains all electronic parts.
As you can see here, there is an on-/off switch, loudness control, which allows you to turn volume up and down.
And very important: The optical scanning in the front.
As already mentioned: The individual products, like the tiptoi globe for example, have no electronic parts,...
... because the pen recognizes the part of the product where you tipped, by scanning an 'invisible' grid.
For example: tiptoi: U.S.A. - United States of America
tiptoi: Venezuela tiptoi: Mexico
That brings the advantage, that you have to purchase the pen once, but the products itself,...
... are quite affordable, because there is no electronics in it.
Here on the side of the pen, we have a rubber cover.
When I open it, you can see: I have a earphone jack to amplify the sound signal.
And of course: The USB-connector here.
When you purchase a new product, like the globe for example, or a book,...
... you have to download the sound files on the pen first,...
which need to be transferred from the computer.
Overall the pen is quite handy and looks like high quality. 00:01:59.56,00:02:05.32 The speech output is also clear and precisely,...
... at least in a normal nursery environment.
Of course, when I am in a louder place, I would recommend using earphones.
