This app is designed to help users put together their very own storybook, or for caregivers to create personalised reading books for the user.
Users can add pictures, text and sound to create dynamic books with the support of topic-specific word or picture banks. This helps the user to structure their work and encourages them to use relevant vocabulary.
Other support features such as realistic speech feedback, intelligent word prediction and a talking spellchecker will help the user’s confidence grow as they create grammatically-correct text with accurate spelling.
Free ready-made resources are available to download and use.
