About this page
Bolo is an original cartoon character made for this site. He speaks using your device’s built-in voice, raised in pitch to sound playful. Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere, and Bolo does not listen through the microphone. Messages are checked so Bolo only says kind words. If your browser cannot speak, Bolo shows the words in his speech bubble instead.
Frequently asked questions
Does Bolo listen to my child?
No. Bolo never uses the microphone. He only says what is typed or chosen on screen.
Is anything saved?
No. Nothing typed is stored or sent. There are no accounts and no adverts in Kids Corner.
Why can I not hear Bolo?
Check that your device sound is on. Some browsers need one tap on the page before they will speak.
