For the generation of the post-80s generation born in the countryside, the experience of childhood is more spent in the farm work and village play. The author has never been to kindergarten, and started in the first grade of primary school. Compared with the urban peers, the starting point is much lower. What impressed me most was the learning of English. The author had no contact with English in primary school, but only learned the English name ABCD when he was in junior high school. He started late and the English teachers in rural junior high schools were low. What made me feel most difficult was English pronunciation, so that for quite a long time, my English words were composed of similar Chinese pronunciation. Cassette tape recorders in rural junior high schools at that time were magic tools that were heard less than a few times a month. The author has always thought that if he was accompanied by a standard pronunciation player when he was young, his native English should be improved. Relatively speaking, the education level at this stage has made a qualitative leap compared with that of the author when he was young. The education level in all aspects is constantly improving, and the education level in rural and urban areas is gradually shrinking. The plasticity is the strongest when you are young. Otherwise, there will be no saying that you are three years old. Therefore, whether it is for Mandarin, writing skills and English pronunciation, shaping in childhood is particularly important. Youjia intelligent dictation speaker is such a product that I dreamed of when I was young.

The Youjia intelligent dictation speaker is packaged with white environment-friendly paper, and Youjia LOGO is printed on the upper right corner of the product package. The bottom of the package is the manufacturer's information and basic performance parameters of the product. Youjia Growth Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. focuses on the research and development of children's education products, so children's parents can pay more attention to it.

The inner lining of the package is very good. The customized groove design is adopted. In order to take out the speaker conveniently, grooves are also designed at the corners around. Through the author's actual experience, the package can play a very good role in protecting the safety of express transportation.

Youjia does not provide additional accessories, only a copy of the product host and manual, and does not provide the data cable and switching power supply included in the daily smart hardware. Because the mobile phone is being updated more and more frequently, ordinary families will not lack these accessories.

The operation of Youjia is mainly carried out through the panel. The manual describes this in great detail, and the combination of buttons and the display screen has many functions. Before fully controlling the operation of the speaker, you still need to read this quick start guide.

In terms of product specifications and parameters, the author quoted official data, and Uplus smart speakers have a storage capacity of 8GB, which can place massive learning resources.

Youjia smart speakers provide three colors, yellow, red and blue, for users to choose from, so it is very convenient to choose between boys and girls. In terms of product design, the overall design is cylindrical, the top is the button and the real part, and the middle is the sound outlet of the speaker.

Compared with the general Bluetooth or wifi smart speakers, in addition to the basic volume increase/decrease buttons, play pause and track selection buttons, function buttons also provide additional channel switching buttons. Of course, users can customize the broadcast channel, which will be reflected in the later experience. In terms of the design of keys, it adopts a design similar to the Jiugong grid. The middle part is the display part, and the surrounding part is the product keys. The keys adopt a protruding design, which has strong resilience. At the same time, because of the protruding design, the control feel is also very good.

The back of the product is the power button and charging interface of Youjia speaker, and the top is the sign of Youjia. Above the power button is the reset button, and below it is the charging indicator.

The base of the product adopts the design of rubber pad, and the anti-skid effect is very good.

The charging interface adopts the most popular MicroUSB design. Because of the widespread application of this wire, Youjia does not provide a data cable. Users can use their mobile phone charging cable to directly charge Youjia or transfer data. A single charge of Youjia can last about 10 hours. According to the normal use frequency of children's education, a single charge can last about a week. The power consumption control is good. After all, it uses only 1000mAh batteries.

Youjia speakers use the top middle position to display relevant channels, controls and other information. Although the screen is small, the information displayed is extremely rich. At the same time, UniPlus is positioned as a children's smart speaker, which can be used without mobile phones or computers. For children with poor control, it is easier to have a learning atmosphere without touching mobile phones.

As Youjia does not support online use, content addition, deletion and other operations need to use computers.

The overall design of the page of Youjia Assistant is very simple. The side navigation bar is adopted. Parents who can operate computers should have no problems using it. From the navigation, you can also see that Youjia has three main functions: radio broadcast, Chinese dictation and English dictation.

As the Youjia education speakers are used offline, their radio stations and dictation programs are downloaded to the speakers for operation. The radio station can add, delete and change the corresponding category name according to its own needs, which is simple and convenient to operate.

For the content of dictation, Youjia provides rich resources of Chinese dictation and English dictation. It is very convenient to download and use, but a slight disadvantage is that only one textbook can be selected for download and use at a time. For those with multiple children of different grades at home, one Youjia is not able to meet the use needs.

In terms of program list processing, the Youjia Assistant is too simple. For radio programs, there is only the time length of each playing file in the channel, and no other information.

As for the source of programs, the rich source of programs in Chinese makes the author feel unnecessary. It has even provided up to 15 publishing houses with Chinese textbooks, which can basically meet the needs of children all over the country. In English, it is the dictation resources provided by Better Education.

In order to facilitate users to view and use, Youjia provides the function of binding WeChat public account based on speaker ID, which can call the resource content of the current speaker through WeChat at any time, including the playlist of Youjia Radio.

In terms of Chinese and English dictation, in addition to the list, WeChat also provides a play function. When the speaker is not around, you can learn the pronunciation of words through WeChat play.

The most distinctive function of UPlus speakers is the dictation interaction function. When the speakers are adjusted to the dictation mode, children can conduct dictation independently through simple voice commands. You can listen to word pronunciation, group words, explain words and other functions through voice commands. After testing with the author and children at home, the Youjia Intelligent Education Speaker can perfectly recognize the voice control commands of both adults and children. In the author's actual experience, using the control commands provided by the speaker to manipulate the Mandarin voice, we haven't found the situation that can't be recognized, which directly verifies that the voice recognition engine of Youjia Intelligent Education Speaker is very good.

Summary

The smart education speaker can download radio stations, Chinese textbooks and English courses through computers. It supports the function of channel breakpoint broadcast. It is very convenient for children to listen to songs or comment on books. Using voice control to interact with the smart speaker, dictating words, learning pronunciation, and word formation are all available. It is very effective for children to learn English, Mandarin, and word review. It is a good tool for children's education. Of course, the author still has higher expectations for the next generation of products, and still hopes that the next generation can be used online. APP control can be limited to the parent mode, which is convenient to set up course downloads as needed, or even further. After the children at home complete the specified tasks, they can get small rewards to further stimulate their enthusiasm for learning. For parents who can't speak English or have incorrect pronunciation, and whose Mandarin is not standard, you may want to focus on the smart education speakers. I believe you and your children will love it.
