New in 3.0: Picture Talk is rebuilt from the ground up. Turn your photos into talking books your child can tap, and let them hear you say every word. Turn your photos into talking picture books for your child, in your own voice. Pick a photo, put a talking spot on each thing you want your child to learn, and record yourself saying the word. When your child taps the dog, "dog" pops up on the screen and they hear you say it. It's a simple, playful way to build first words together. MAKE A BOOK IN MINUTES • Choose up to 30 photos from your library or take new ones with the camera. Each photo becomes a page. • Tap Add Talking Spot, type the word, and drag the spot onto the thing in the photo. • Record your voice for each spot, or let Picture Talk read the word aloud in a voice you choose, including other languages. • Choose from 8 colors, 8 child-friendly fonts, any text size, and oval or rectangle spots. • Everything saves as you go, with undo and redo. MADE FOR LITTLE FINGERS • A full-screen player with no buttons to hit by accident. • Words pop up with a playful spin while your voice plays. • Gentle outlines show where to tap. Turn them off for a guessing game. • Swipe between pages, or tap Play All to hear every spot, page after page. • Only a grown-up can leave: hold the close button for two seconds. • The screen stays on while a book is open. IDEAS FOR YOUR BOOKS • Family faces: Grandma, Grandpa, cousins, the family dog • Around the house: toys, the kitchen, bath time, clothes • Days out: the zoo, the park, the grocery store • Pages from a favorite paper book, read in your voice • Words in a second language, recorded by a grandparent • Practice at home with the words your child is working on START RIGHT AWAY A five-page illustrated sample book is ready the first time you open the app, with 53 talking spots across farm animals, wild animals, fruit, transportation and clothing. A short intro and helpful tips walk you through making your own. IPHONE AND IPAD Picture Talk works on iPhone and iPad in portrait or landscape, and supports VoiceOver and larger text sizes. ONE PRICE, NOTHING ELSE No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no account. Your photos and recordings stay on your device. Picture Talk sends only anonymous usage counts and crash reports, and you can turn those off in Help. Upgrading from Picture Talk 2? Your presentations and recordings are converted into books automatically.

Creators: some advice to improve this app..... Once installed, you should walk users through making an audiobook . We goofed many times and still have no idea what we were doing wrong or correct. One, there is no instruction whatsoever. There is simply a help button. Buttons should be able to be moved or edited as you don't know what you are doing except by trial and error. How do you make an additional book? With some minor edits, this would be a decent app. Now have several pictures and one connects them all......but how do I then make another book. The only options are NeW and help......

I do not see how to create what is shown in the example - it will save a photo and record sound and you can type in a word but they are not saved - when you view it, all it does it bring up the picture - neither the word you typed in nor the sound you recorded are there. And certainly there was no way to create the sample picture with multiple words labeling one photo. In short, it doesn't work. I'm annoyed that I wasted a dollar.

Really nice app does what it says but it needs ways to save in different collections, share with other phones or create an interactive pdf of collection. Some way to make full use.

Picture Talk 3.0 is rebuilt from the ground up for today's iPhone and iPad. • Talking spots now show where to tap in the player, so your child always knows what to touch. • Everything saves automatically. There's no Save button, and nothing gets lost. • Recording is simpler: tap Done, even while recording, and your voice is kept. • No recording yet? Picture Talk reads the word aloud, and you can pick the voice in Help. • A new full-screen player with page swiping, Play All, and a close button that only works when a grown-up holds it. • A new editor with undo and redo, copy and paste, 8 colors and 8 fonts. Words stay the right size on every screen. • A sample book, a short intro and tips to help you get started. • Works on every iPhone and iPad size, in any orientation, with VoiceOver and larger text. Your Picture Talk 2 presentations and recordings are converted into books automatically the first time you open 3.0.
