QuickPic AAC Brazil L 4+

Powered by AI, QuickPic creates topic-specific displays automatically from photographs to support communication and language learning for non-speaking individuals, their families, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs).

Choose a photograph, and in a few seconds QuickPic will create a topic-specific display containing vocabulary symbols (pictograms) related to the input photograph!

Topic-specific displays are a single page containing all relevant vocabulary to discuss a certain topic or activity. Users can then select vocabulary to create sentences using synthesized speech.

QuickPic is fully customizable:

~> You can edit the topic display created to add or remove words, or select a better symbol for a specific word.
~> You can change the size of all elements in the interface.
~> You can choose the complexity of vocabulary generated automatically.
~> You can program familiar people to enable QuickPic to automatically recognize them when creating new boards.

QuickPic was designed by a team of experts (PhDs and CCC-SLPs) in the field of speech-language therapy and human-computer interaction (HCI) using user-centered design methodologies, which involved the participation of end-users in the process.
