Our friends from Fliplog have more surprises for your kiddies. After creating a few iPad applications with our books, they’ve gone on to create wonderful iPad/iPhone applications for Tulika Books too.
Ekki Dokki is a bilingual book in Hindi and English. It is based on an endearing Marathi folktale about two sisters. Ekkesvali has one hair on her head; Dhonkesvali has two and thinks she’s great. What happens to them when they meet an old woman who lives alone in a clearing right in the middle of the forest? This folktale takes on a special joyousness with Ranjan De’s stylised representations, full of interesting details.
Thanks to a conference I attended recently, I managed to see this book on Brij’s (from Fliplog) iPad. And it was awesome! What was interesting was the ‘bilingual page-by-page audio flip’. The audio recorded by Tulika Books is fantastic too.
Other features of this application include :
– Switch between Hindi and English from any page using animation transition.
– Comes with read-along recordings in two languages(English and Hindi).
– Record your own voice for read-along.
– Playback in your own voice or pre-recorded voice. Switch at any time.
– Dual mode page flip – swipe for older readers and flip help for younger readers.
– Jump to any page using page gallery.
– Auto flip automatically turns to next page when playback for the page finishes.
