Every signup gets our printable first-words chart, instantly · Launching soon on iOS · Private by design
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin, Romanian & 30+ more
Capture every new word, in every language, and turn it into a story your family will treasure.
See how it works
Most word trackers assume one language. Saylings is built from the ground up for the way your family actually speaks.
Type the word and go. Saylings auto-detects the language and category. Add a meaning, a photo, or a 10-second recording of your little one actually saying it.
30+ languages, each with its own flag and colour. See how many words your child knows in each one, with separate milestones for every language they're growing up with.
From the 1st word to the 100th, each milestone gets a joyful moment, with the CDC and ASHA benchmarks shown alongside so you can see where your child sits.
An insights dashboard shows words this week, an 8-week trend, and a language breakdown. Gentle, encouraging, never clinical.
Turn any month into a shareable video story, or export a beautifully typeset PDF word book, a printable record to treasure long after they've grown.
Invite your partner with a single code and see every new word in real time. Send grandparents a private, read-only link so they never miss a thing.
Your child says something new: "agua", "more", "papà". The kind of moment that vanishes by next week.
Open Saylings and log the word in seconds, with a photo and a recording of their voice. The language is detected for you.
Watch their vocabulary bloom across every language, with milestones and insights that cheer you both on.
Export a printable word book or a Month-in-Words video: the words you never want to forget, kept forever.
From the moment they say it to the moment grandma hears it.
See each language grow in its own way, while keeping every word together in one beautiful family record.
English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, Romanian and 30+ more, each with its own flag, colour, word count and milestones. Few gifts last longer than a second language. Saylings helps you treasure every step of giving it.

Most babies say a first word between 10 and 14 months. After that the published benchmarks diverge: ASHA lists at least 50 words at 19 to 24 months, while the CDC's checklist places about 50 words at 30 months because it uses the 75th percentile. Both are right, and they answer different questions. Read the full post →
