Pictello - Visual Stories for Everyone

Pictello is a simple way to create talking photo albums and talking books. Each page in a Pictello Story can contain a picture, up to five lines of text, and a recorded sound or text-to-speech using natural sounding voices. Stories can be shared using iTunes File Sharing or via WiFi with other Pictello users through a free account on the Pictello Sharing Server.

Pictello is developed for all ages and skill levels, so it is easy to use and requires no reading skills to locate and read stories. Pictello offers an easy visual story creation wizard so everyone can use pictures and sound to share important moments in their lives. An advanced editor gives full control of the editing capabilities.

Uses for Pictello stories include:

• Stories to teach social skills or to recall events
• Photo albums to allow non-speaking people to share their news and interests
• Sharing important events and memories with family who live far away
• Talking books
• Teaching narrative skills as part of a literacy or language skills curriculum
• Schedules, Task instructions, etc.
• Share stories or write group stories using iPad on a VGA monitor or interactive white board (VGA adapter required)
• Create multilingual stories using text-to-speech or voice recordings

The current version of Pictello is localized in English, Spanish, French, German, and Dutch. North American English male and female voices are included, with children's voices and voices for 23 languages and dialects available as free downloads! Pictello does not require an active Internet connection for story creation or playback.

Pictello is a universal app and can, without extra costs, be used on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad!

Pictello is available on the App Store for US$18.99 / Euro 14.99 (exact price may vary from country to country). Note that the App Store does not support demo or trial versions, so there is no demo version of Pictello available.
