Picto Hear
Learning Support for Hearing-Impaired Children
Picto Hear was inspired by a real family need: helping a child with hearing challenges build language confidence through visual, guided, and repeatable learning.
Case Study: Problem to Product
Problem Statement
Children with hearing impairments often need consistent, structured language exposure. Many families have limited time, and some parents are not comfortable using complex technology.
Solution Direction
Build a simple, guided app that starts with letters and words, grows into sentences, and reinforces learning through text-to-speech and camera-based object learning.
Language-First Basics
Children can begin with letters and everyday words in their chosen language.
Sentence Builder
The app gradually introduces sentence formation with simple visual guidance.
Text to Speech Support
Words and sentences can be spoken aloud to reinforce listening and memory.
Picture to Learning
Children can capture objects around them and learn what they are with context.
