My Pictures Talk helps you catalog, share, remember, and can teach skills to those with autism or developmental delays. It also allows you to document trips, adventures, class trips or create your own stories. Use your imagination! We allow you to bring your photos to life with text and audio. You can create talking photo albums, or use as a teaching tool to help promote wanted behaviors. 

Take videos on the fly with an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, or load videos onto your device thru iTunes. It can now serve as a way to make your own social stories utilizing video modeling.  No videos are included, but make it personal and create your own. Video modeling has been proven to be a useful tool to help children with autism learn social skills.  

My Pictures Talk is the first app that allows you to create your own social stories using your own personal videos.

Pictures, stories, and videos can be emailed and posted to Facebook.

► Recording video on the fly supported on iPhone 3GS and 4, and the iPod Touch 4th generation. 
► Only the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4th generation(the one with cameras), and the iPad can load videos thru iTunes syncing. This is a limitation of the iOS SDK. Our apologies.
► Be sure you have an iPhone or the 32/64 GB versions of the late 2009 model iPod Touch or later to record audio. If you have the iPod Touch 2G or 8GB late 2009 model you will need to purchase a 3rd party microphone(available from Apple or Amazon.com, etc.)

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2013-02-19, version 3.51*

This app is too confusing and difficult to use.  This didn't do what I thought it would do.  I wanted a simple tool for use with video modeling with special needs students.  This is NOT the app.

### 5/5 — Crashing!...now fixed

*2012-11-14, version 3.51*

This app has tremendous potential to be amazing.  Since the latest update, it crashes when you try to import an emailed story.  please fix this!!!

The app is now fixed and worth every penny!!!

### 1/5 — SLP P

*2012-10-19, version 3.22*

Crashing every time on my iPad 2.

### 4/5 — Great app for quickly making videos for video modeling

*2012-05-09, version 3.21*

I first heard about this app from an iPad workshop and was really excited to try it for video modeling. I used it this morning to make a video for a student and it took me less than hour to record, choose, edit, narrate, and sequence the video clips on my iPad. When I initially tried to watch the 2 min video  after I added it to the story, the app crashed. I found it was helpful to cut the long video into short 18 second clips. That took care of the crashing problem and allowed me to segment the task into small steps for my student to learn the routine or skill. Great app!

### 1/5 — Crashing.....

*2012-04-21, version 3.21*

Help...

### 5/5 — Eases anxiety

*2012-02-24, version 3.2*

Great simple to use app with our ASD child. Showing him picture stories cuts down on the anxiety level of going places with him. If he sees a picture, he knows to anticipate the event. No more meltdowns!

### 4/5 — Loves this app, but keeps crashing

*2012-01-04, version 3.2*

This is a fabulous app that is extremely useful in my work as a speech-language therapist. However, I have been having problems with it crashing anytime I use it with the video feature. Please help!

### 1/5 — Crashed on me

*2011-07-12, version 3.12*

When I was going to watch my video and then the screen went black

### 5/5 — Great for teaching social skills

*2011-06-14, version 3.12*

I am an SLP who uses My Pictures Talk to help my students with autism learn
appropriate social skills. My students love watching themselves on video and
the app serves as an incentive for good behaviors.  I even create videos to
show unexpected behaviors so that they can see the difference.  It is very
easy to customize and sometimes I will even have my students help me
customize it.

### 5/5 — Superb therapy tool

*2011-05-14, version 3.1*

As a private practice slp, I have found endless uses for this app. I use videos for commenting and sequencing. I have tons of pics of rooms and household items for teaching vocab. I made folders for individual kids so the actions, attributes, objects and people importants for them are all in one place for practice from a speech a/o language perspective. Great, versatile, highly recommended!
