# Tugan Tel

Your child hears Bashkir, Tatar or Kazakh in your own recorded voice, spoken by animals in a tap-and-listen game.

Tugan Tel is for families whose grandparents speak Bashkir, Tatar or Kazakh and whose children, aged 1 to 7, do not yet. A parent or grandparent records short phrases, and the animals in the game say them in that voice; unrecorded phrases use a built-in synthetic voice. It is free, with no ads, no account and no purchases.

## Features

- **Phrases in a family voice.** Tap the mic, say the phrase, tap again; listen back and re-record. The characters then speak it in that voice, with mouths moving to the sound.
- **Tap-and-find scenes for ages 1 to 7.** The child taps animals to hear a phrase, then plays 'Where is the cow?'. A star for each finished scene, no timers, no scores, no text to read.
- **A daily ritual for the parent.** Morning, bath or bedtime: five phrases to say out loud each day, with slow replay and transliteration, and an optional daily reminder at that time.
- **Share a voice with relatives.** Export the recorded voice as a zip through Mail, AirDrop or a messenger, or open one a relative sent; the parent switches it on from the Family voice screen.
- **New scenes without an app update.** Once per launch the app checks the authors' site for a newer content pack and swaps it in after verifying every file hash. A music studio lets the family make loops and lullabies.

## FAQ

### Which languages does it teach?

Bashkir, Tatar and Kazakh. The app's own menus are in English and Russian.

### Is it really free?

Yes. Version 1.0 has no ads, no account and no in-app purchases.

### Can grandma record from her own phone?

Yes. She records in Tugan Tel on her phone and shares the voice; you open the file and pick it on the Family voice screen.

### What age is it for?

### Where do the recordings go?

They stay in the app on your device. They leave only if you share a voice yourself.
