More than two years since its launch as an iOS exclusive, Osmo's kids' learning system is finally coming to Android by way of Amazon's Fire tablets. For the uninitiated, the kits use reflective AI tech, fitted to your slate's camera, to integrate physical objects into a digital environment. The more creative you get in the real-world, the bigger the digital rewards. Osmo says its games are teaching kids how to code in over 30,000 schools, and the lower-priced Amazon Fire tablets (some of which cost less than the $80-$100 kits themselves) should open it up to even more young'uns. You can pre-order both the Osmo Genius Kit and Creative Kit starting today -- both of which work on Amazon's Fire 7, Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 tablets -- giving you access to games like Numbers, Words, Tangrams, Newton and Masterpiece, and Monster.

My wife used to love reading but since her stroke has aphasia, no speech, limited vision and limited dexterity in her left hand only. She can select TV channels on a remote but she cannot read a short news story let alone a novel, so she listens to the radio and watches a lot of TV. I thought of getting her a Kindle e-reader but they don't seem to do text to speech any more. A shop assistant suggested a tablet with a text-to-speech app. It needs a really simple interface or my wife will not be able to use it without assistance.
