OpenLoquo

In development

Everyone has something to say.

OpenLoquo is a free, open-source app for communicating with pictograms: tap the pictures and the app says the phrase out loud.

How it works

Three steps, no manual. Made for small hands and long days.

  1. Tap a pictogram

    Each picture is a word. The buttons are big and easy to tap.

  2. Build the phrase

    The pictograms you pick are added to the bar, one after another.

  3. The app says it out loud

    You hear the phrase in a Valencian or Spanish voice.

Try it here

I want to eat.

Tap the pictograms to make a phrase.

Your phrase will show up here…

This is a visual demo. In the app, the phrase is also spoken out loud.

It works offline. No account needed.

For families, schools and therapists

One tool for home, the classroom and the clinic.

  • Families

    For everyday use, at home and out and about. No account, no subscription and no tracking.

  • Schools

    Made for the classroom: it works on Android, on LliureX and in any modern browser.

  • Therapists

    Pictograms are colour-coded by type of word (people, verbs, nouns, descriptors and social words), a common practice in AAC.

In Valencian and Spanish

The pictograms and the voices are made for two languages, so each person can speak the way they do at home.

  • Valencian mare / pare

    Spanish mamá / papá

  • Valencian casa

    Spanish casa

  • Valencian menjar

    Spanish comer

  • Valencian ajuda

    Spanish ayuda

  • Valencian una altra vegada

    Spanish otra vez

  • Valencian bany

    Spanish baño

These pictograms are OpenLoquo’s own drawings.

One colour for each type of word

Yellow for people, green for verbs, orange for nouns, blue for descriptors and pink for social words.
