The idea behind Pictog
The communicator adapts to the person, not the other way around.
Pictog lets a person ask, refuse, choose, share how they feel or say “pause” in as few steps as possible. The board stays available: communication does not depend on finishing an activity.
Support without pressure
The companion guide suggests modelling, waiting and respecting refusal, without demanding imitation or eye contact.
A flexible tool
Use symbols, personal photos, the native keyboard, full-screen messages or saved phrases as needed.
Pictog in use
A calm interface for moments that matter.
Each screen removes unnecessary decisions and keeps communication close: choose a word, type freely or preview what comes next.

Large symbols, stable categories and essential words that are always available.

Keyboard and voice
Write a message, review it and play it with the voice configured for each profile.
