SUPERB!!
I was so not sure when I bought this and even played it to myself as to how it would go down with my just barely turned 2 y.o. son. WOW BOOM BOOM .. I so totally was taken aback when he became fixated by this DVD and would make me play it again and again .. and next thing WOW he knew the entire alphabet and their phonetics in under 2 weeks as someone else said .. Within that time he was picking out letters anywhere and everywhere he saw them.
I thought it was magical .. THANKS guys who made this DVD ... I am now going to collect ALL the stuff the Leap Frog guys have put out there.
So FIVE STAR!!!

A little dated looking, cartoony
After watching this once, I decided that my 17-month old daugher is too young to appreciate it, and may let her see it when she is a few months older.
The package came slightly smashed, but the contents were okay. There is a small frog doll and a small board book that is for the letter factory. The book follows the video.
We haven't viewed the Talking Words video yet.
The Letter Factory is a cartoony video of Leap's family of frogs, and they have to prepare for a presentation to some important person. The youngest frog child can't read yet, and gets into trouble. Then, he meets the scientist character who then proceeds to show him around into each room that has each letter, and they sing a song that is very repetitive and gets boring after a while. It gets really boring so you might not want to watch the whole thing as my daughter really lost interest in it about 1/4 of the way through the alphabet.
The cartoon quality of the video seems a bit dated and there are no special effects to the graphics. I would say it's a safe video for toddlers. The vocal quality of the video isn't that bad, and isn't that great either, but bearable.
I can see how this video would probably help my daughter in her attempts to talk.
Overall, I would recommend this, although I would stick to the age range on the product, which is 2-5 years. My daughter liked the doll a lot, and has looked at the board book several times.

Love It!
My 2-year old son watches this video at least twice a week and without me teaching him anything he can recognize about half the alphabet and their sounds. With a little work, we'll have them all in a short time. He's only been watching the video a few weeks. I'm very satisfied with this product and almost all other Leap Frog Products.

A Must Have!
I bought Letter Factory for my son when he turned two years old. Within a month, he was able to recognize most of his letters and was able to verbalize the entire alphabet from A to Z. He loved this video and constantly watched it for two years. He is now four and I am going to purchase Talking Words Factory for him since he is in Pre-K, now. We have given Letter Factory to my two-year-old niece and she loves it, too. My son didn't want to give it to her, though, because he often watched it and can't now that she has it. I'm going to purchase this set for my son for Christmas so he will have both videos. I'm sure the second will be as wonderful for him as the first was.

The best!
No matter what I did to try and help my 3 year old daughter learn her ABCs she wasn't able to grasp every single one. I don't know how she could work the DVD player just from watching me use it twice, but not know all of her ABCs after the several months and various songs/toys we used (including Leap Frog's Fridge Phonics set which had worked to an extent). She'd repeat the song with me, but often skipped several letters. After watching the Letter Factory a few times she not only learned more letters, but their sounds too!
We've retired Letter Factory after only a short couple of months because she mastered her letters (and their sounds) already. We moved onto Talking Word Factory next. It's a little harder for hewr to grasp, but since she's only 3.5 I don't expect her to be spelling words. However, whenever we pass letters she'll call them out, and if I tell her what the word is she'll repeat it. Now everytime we pass a stop sign I get to hear, "S T O P Stop!" followed by a lot of giggling.

Some of the Best of Edu-tainment You Will Find
We have all of the Leapfrog videos and I can not recommend them enough. Certainly it is some of the best educational programming out there. [Read the individual reviews for each product to see how many 5 Star votes and thumbs up these products get.]
In the Letter Factory, children are introduced to all of the letters in the alphabet and their sounds. In the Talking Word Factory, children are taught how words are formed using vowels and consonants.
Five Stars. My children and their friends simply love these videos. And what amazes me is that my 2.5 year old went from having no knowledge of the alphabet, to being able to identify all of the capital letters and their sounds in under 2 weeks. Great gift.

Makes learning fun!
My son and daughter both knew the alphabet phonetically before they were four by merely watching this video (I hadn't even gone over the letter's sounds yet!). They make have a catchy song for each letter. And the word factory gives them a head-start into reading with a great explaination of vowels. I was recommended this video by a friend who raved about it and now I sing it's praises. I've even just donated the set to my daughter's Kindergarten class and the teacher loves it!
