About this resource

About

Made by AssistiveWare — the accessibility developer behind Proloquo2Go — Pictello has been a trusted social story and visual narrative tool for over a decade. Its Acapela Neural Voices deliver smooth, natural-sounding narration, and the app supports VoiceOver for fully accessible authoring by people with visual impairments.

What It Does

Pictello offers two authoring modes: a step-by-step Wizard mode suited to users with limited literacy, and a flexible standard mode for experienced creators. Stories can incorporate personal photos, recorded audio, and video clips, and can be shared directly with others who have the app or exported as printable PDFs. Over 170 free adult and children's voice options are available.

Who It Helps

Pictello is used across age ranges to support people with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, selective mutism, and AAC users who benefit from visual narrative supports. Educators use it to create social stories, prepare students for new environments, build literacy skills, and document life experiences.
