PictoDicto is an Android app that allows users to learn basic vocabulary and easily communicate in a new language. With a focus on accessibility, the app uses pictograms to interact with users. Selecting a pictogram displays the chosen term in its original language and its translation, both in written form and pronunciation. The app can be used as a learning tool or as a basic communication dictionary.
Based on the core vocabulary of the ARASAAC center (publicly available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA)), PictoDicto is a simple pictographic app for practicing and learning languages and communicating basic concepts.
The available languages are Spanish, Galician, English, Arabic, French, Urdu, Chinese, and Ukrainian.
It allows users to select pictograms alphabetically, by category or semantic field, or by search. Once a pictogram is selected, its text in the original language and its translation can be viewed, as well as its pronunciation in both languages. It is designed primarily for the integration of migrant students into schools who lack knowledge of our languages.
The application uses the Picts of ARASAAC (http://arasaac.org/), created by Sergio Palao and distributed with Creative Commons license (BY-NC-SA). We thank Cleo García for designing the app’s logo.
We’ve uploaded this new app PictoDicto to Google Play and our web:
We have also added an app manual (in Spanish):
