PictoTango: Photo Vocabulary

Snap something nearby, tap it, and it becomes a word sticker, with the word and an example sentence in 20 languages, plus IPA, pinyin and audio.

Take a photo of something around you and turn it into a word card you can listen to and review. Tap an object in the photo and PictoTango cuts it out like a sticker, then shows the word and an example sentence in any of 20 languages, with IPA for English and pinyin for Chinese. Free, no ads, no account needed. Use it to help kids learn the names of everyday things, or to start a new language yourself.

SNAP, TAP, SAVE • PictoTango recognizes what's in your photo and shows its name • Tap the object you want and it's cut out cleanly, like a sticker • Recognition runs on your iPhone or iPad, so it works offline

LEARN IN 20 LANGUAGES • Words and example sentences in 20 languages • IPA for English, pinyin for Chinese • Tap to hear the word, at normal or slow speed. Audio plays even when your phone is on silent • Study one language or several at once

YOUR WORD BOOK • Words are grouped by the day you found them, so you can look back at what you saw • Review mode hides the answer so you can try to remember it first • If something isn't in the built-in dictionary, save it anyway and rename it later

WHO IT'S FOR • Parents who want to name things around the house in English or Chinese with their kids • Beginners who'd rather learn words from their own day than from a textbook • Travelers who want to know what everyday things are called before a trip
