Setup with instructions A family member or teacher can learn the app from the manufacturer's tutorials in about half an hour. The real work is making good stories and schedules for the person who will use them, and that takes a little planning but no clinical setup. That puts it at guided setup.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

Pictello is an iOS app for building visual stories and schedules, one page at a time. You add your own photos, videos, and voice recordings, or use the built-in text-to-speech voices, so each page can speak aloud. People use it for social stories, daily schedules, and retelling what happened on an outing or holiday. It also gives learners a way to practice reading and storytelling, and to share information with confidence. It runs only on Apple devices, so you will need an iPhone or iPad.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Install the app on an iPhone or iPad and open it to see how stories are organized.
    2. Create a first story by adding a page, then a photo or video, then text or a voice recording, and choose a text-to-speech voice if you want one.
    3. Build a simple story or schedule around a real routine or event. Plan on about 30 minutes to get comfortable with the steps. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
