Large images, clear layout, natural pronunciations. Who is it for? Ages 1–5 for the picture-book experience and early discovery of fruits and vegetables. Ages 3–15 for language learning and fruit and vegetable vocabulary. How it works The interface lets a child, alone or with an adult, explore each fruit or vegetable, see the picture, and hear its name read aloud. Images can advance automatically like a slideshow (adjustable time per image) or manually by swiping the screen or tapping the left/right edges. The display order is configurable (random or sequential). A long-press on the name lets you choose another display/spoken language.

Multilingual (78 languages) Spoken names and interface are available in your language of choice, to build vocabulary and train the ear from an early age.

About

Vignettes

Features
Read full description

"Vignettes" is a program whose main objective is to compile images from mestizo sources and offer a description, analysis, and identification of the elements of traditional pictographic writing present in each of them. It also provides direct access to the parallel images of TLACHIA and the TEMOA texts from which they were extracted. This approach highlights the mestizo character of the vignettes, which function as texts for those who created them and as illustrations for those who commissioned them. The aim is to facilitate access to these images and consistently link them to traditional codices. In particular, it aims to demonstrate that these vignettes are heirs to a rich and long pictographic tradition. "Vignettes" includes the 1,824 vignettes of the Florentine Codex, the 120 of the Durán Codex, the 52 of the Tovar Codex, the vignettes of the First Memorials, divided between the Matritense Codex of the Royal Palace (146) and the Matritense Codex of the Royal Academy (122), the 92 vignettes of the Cruz-Badiano Codex as well as the 765 images of Francisco Hernández. That is, a total of 3,115 images that have a close relationship with the Nahuatl language.
