Accessible Flashcards vs Ballyland Code 3

Make your own accessible flashcards and study them your way. Create collections for vocabulary, languages, school subjects or anything you want to remember, then turn them into practice sessions. CREATE CARDS THAT FIT YOUR MATERIAL • Choose text on both sides, text with an image or recording, or a single text, image or audio side. • Add images from Photos or Files and record audio in the app. • Set the language for each side so card text can be spoken during practice. PRACTICE AT YOUR PACE • Choose how many cards to review. Use manual controls or automatic playback at fast, normal or slow speed. • Start from the back with inverted modes. Set daily, weekly or manual training. • Hear text, spell words aloud, replay recordings and move between cards with simple controls. • Review completed and partial sessions in weekly, monthly or yearly results. MADE FOR ACCESSIBILITY VoiceOver support includes labeled controls, card navigation and hints for image description. Adjust voice speed, card colors and text size to suit your needs. TAKE YOUR CARDS WITH YOU Export one collection or all your collections as .afc files to Files or the Share sheet. Import shared .afc files to add cards or replace matching collections. Start by creating your own cards or importing a collection. No cards are preloaded. Available in English and Spanish.

“Ballyland Code 3: Pick Up” is a fun, educational app that introduces young students to Coding and Computational thinking on an iPad, including those who are blind or visually impaired. The app is a sequel to two previous Ballyland Code apps and offers a new coding challenge. Challenge 3 again involves a digital game grid with rows and columns, in which this time you need to code Wheelie, the car from Ballyland, to move around and pick up the frog, flower and coin. These three targets will be in a different position for each level of the Challenge. Coding the shortest route to pick them all up will test computational thinking and ‘mental mapping’ skills. A great learn-to-code app for all! Visit the Sonokids website sonokids.org for more information. Specifications: • Easy/Moderate level; • Audio Based Coding™: built-in speech, accessible coding interface, audio description, fun and meaningful sound effects, audio and visual (animated) on-screen coding output, mini audio-play; • No reading skills required; • No need to type code; • Unique accessibility for learners who are blind or visually impaired; • Finger gestures: Finger drag, Flick left and right with one finger, Flick down and up with one finger, Double tap, Three finger flick left; • “Black Curtain” option so everyone plays by ear; • Designed with feedback from children, parents and teachers; • Option to use Ballyland 3D printable tactile grid, moveable characters and objects for learning support (visit the website); • Use at home and school.
