Questions parents ask

Teki (tekilearn.com) is a learning app for children aged 4 to 7: short learning games with Teki the turtle, who reads every task aloud. The Teki learning games cover seven areas, from counting to feelings, and Teki speaks 14 languages.

Teki Basic is free: 22 games for one child. Teki Plus and Teki Family are subscriptions, and you can try both free for 7 days.

Teki is for children aged 4 to 7, from the middle year of kindergarten to first grade. You choose where Teki's path starts, and every game has three levels.

With Teki, your child practises seven areas: quantities and counting, attention and memory, talking and stories, fine motor skills, movement and body awareness, everyday independence, and feelings. You can see every game, area by area, on the Games page.

No. Teki reads every task aloud, and your child answers with a tap or a drag, so they can play on their own without reading.

One adventure is 3 short games, about 6 to 9 minutes. A daily screen time is only a suggestion, if you set one (5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes), and it never locks anything.

To download, yes; to play downloaded games, no: play them anywhere. Once you're back online, your progress updates.

No. Teki has no ads on any plan.

No. Child mode can only be left by holding a button and entering the parent PIN, so your child can't buy anything or change settings.

Yes, with Teki Plus or Teki Family. Plus is for up to 3 children and Family for up to 10, each with their own progress. On every plan, 2 adults can use Teki, each on their own phone.

Choose Teki Plus or Teki Family and try everything free for 7 days. If you like it, there's nothing to do: your subscription continues on its own. If not, cancel at least a day before the 7 days end, and you won't pay a thing.

You cancel in the store you downloaded Teki from (App Store or Google Play), in a few taps. Your progress stays, and you can keep playing with Teki Basic.

On the App Store and Google Play, for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. The buttons on this page take you straight to the store; Teki's official website is tekilearn.com.

Teki speaks 14 languages: Indonesian, German, English, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Hungarian, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Traditional Chinese and Korean. You choose the language; by default it follows the phone's language.

It's part of Teki Plus and Teki Family. Teki's path also has talking games, where Teki talks with your child with the help of artificial intelligence, and in a Teki call the two can chat more freely. It's off until you switch it on, and only you can. You set the daily limit, too. In a game the microphone listens only while the green “Teki is listening” sign shows or your child holds the talk button, and in a Teki call you allowed only while the call screen is open. Their voice is turned into text and never stored; their words go as text to a language model in the United States so Teki can reply, and are never used for training.

Your family gets one free call, up to 3 minutes. Teki asks questions, listens to your child and answers. After that, calls are part of the Teki Plus and Teki Family plans.

Teki is made and run by Takács Olivér, sole proprietor (egyéni vállalkozó) in Hungary. You'll find the contact details on the About page and in the legal notice.
