It is designed around the following objectives:

On the website you can find a guide to learn how to use the app, but it is in Spanish. 

To translate a word or a sentence into pictograms you just need to type the words on the main screen (in the box provided), and, as you type, pictograms associated with the words will appear. 

Example of a sentence translated into pictograms:

EN: Grandma is going to the shop.

ES: La abuela va a la tienda.
