What evolves for you in 2025 with Pictalk
Life Book: Coming soon
We plan to add a Life Book to Pictalk Buddy very soon!
In this Life Book, you will be able to include: images, pictograms, videos, and even audio recordings. Additionally, you will have a read-aloud feature that will allow non-verbal users to tell their life story and share who they are.
We know that Life Books and connection books are already used in paper format by individuals and professionals in institutions. To save time, we have integrated sharing functionalities where multiple users can write in the same book.
Creation of events and sequences made easier
You may have already noticed that artificial intelligence has become a major topic in recent years, and so far, it has barely benefited the disability sector. We want to change that. It represents a significant advancement in our applications.
Some functionalities are now available in Pictalk Buddy (by creating sequences and events by clicking on the multicolored button).
Enter a title, and AI will automatically generate tasks with images, pictograms, and suitable descriptions.
Complete redesign of Pictalk communication
This year, we focused on Pictalk Buddy, because no other adapted agenda app with pictograms existed. In 2025, we have new ambitions for Pictalk communication, formerly Pictalk AAC.
Here is a list addressing major planned changes:
| Profile System | A single account can contain multiple profiles. Facilitates use in institutions |
| Profile Sharing | Profiles can be shared between caregivers, families, and professionals |
| Grammar correction integrated | Automatic spelling and conjugation correction in French (first supported language) |
| Theme creation made easier | 10 preloaded themes available from launch |
| Pictogram and grid positioning | Easily move images with intuitive and precise positioning |
| Language development and skills tracking | Analysis of vocabulary usage and vocabulary suggestions. A simple, accessible tracking interface directly in the app |
| Integration of Agenda and Life Book | Routine, events, and Life Book integration |
| Major bug fixes | No more disappeared collections, sharing issues, or synchronization problems. This version offers unprecedented stability |
Pictalk Buddy on smartwatch: a vision for 2025/2026
We decided to prioritize the development of Pictalk communication and the smartphone Agenda app in 2025. This is perfect, as it gives us ample time to gather your feedback and needs.
The main feature emerging from surveys is:
Visual Timer: Track your tasks with pictograms synchronized directly with your agenda.
