Adult Content & Profanity Warning

We, the creators of this website, have taken all reasonable steps to stop inappropriate images from being displayed when inappropriate words are typed.

However, we cannot guarantee that every possible inappropriate image will be blocked and are not responsible if one is displayed.

If additional filtering is required, there is a Profanity Filtering option in the settings that you can use.

⚙️ Settings Guide

Here's a quick overview of everything you can customise:

🔤 Text Appearance

Change the font style, size, and colour of the typing display, plus the background colour.

🔵 Bubble Letters

Add a coloured outline around every letter to make text pop against any background.

⏱ Typing Control

Set a minimum delay between key presses — helpful for students who press keys accidentally or too quickly.

🖼 Image Display

Control how large the picture appears. Pre-load images for specific words so they show instantly when typed.

🚫 Image Filtering

Block certain words from ever showing a picture, or restrict the app to an approved word list only.

← → Image Navigation Arrows

Show or hide the on-screen arrow buttons for flipping through multiple photos. The keyboard arrow keys always work too.

🖱 Mouse Cursor

Change the cursor style — useful if a student is using a mouse to click the navigation arrows.

📋 Session Word History

A running log of every word typed this session with timestamps — useful for teachers reviewing progress.

Uses AI to isolate the subject on a transparent background. Downloads a ~30MB model on first use (cached after).

Images for these words will be fetched (and background-removed, if enabled) as soon as the session starts — so they appear instantly when the child types them. Separate words with commas.

Image Filtering

These words will never show images, regardless of other settings.

Image Navigation Arrows

Arrows let you flip between multiple photos of the same word. You can also use the ← → arrow keys on the keyboard.

Mouse Cursor

Change the mouse cursor style. A large pointer can help children identify where to click to flip through pictures. Note: browsers limit cursor customization — for flipping pictures, the keyboard arrow keys (← →) always work regardless of cursor style.

Session Word History

All words typed this session, in order. This list is preserved here even if the student clears the screen.
