Voice Story is a visual story telling tool to support the oral language development of learners. The app involves the oral telling of stories constructed with pictures. It is an open-ended task that encourages learners to create stories using the language that they know and about anything that they are interested in. No text is used at all so that the focus is on oral language and it can be done in any language. Language rehearsal is encouraged by the voice record and playback function. Learners tell their stories until they are happy with them to save. Stories can be kept to document language development over time and can also be shared.
Voice Story has the following features:
Emojis:
The app uses categories of emoji pictures – characters including people and animals, places and transport, objects, actions and sports, emotions, food and drink, nature, and flags. The emojis are touched and dragged into the story space to create picture stories. The sequence of emojis can be swapped and unwanted emojis can be dragged to a bin area to provide for adjustments to be made to the story during planning. The pictures provide visual prompts for planning stories and visual cues for orally telling the stories. Learners may say a single word or an extended utterance for each picture according to their language level.
Images:
The camera allows learners to take their own photos to personalise their stories, such as to create a story about a family member, pet or favourite toy, or to insert a “selfie”. The photos are touched and dragged into the story space in the same way as the emojis to create picture stories. The camera roll allows access to a saved collection of photos to be included in stories and is particularly useful when stories involve a recount of an activity or an excursion.
Text Direction:
Pictures may be placed left to right horizontally, or right to left horizontally. There is no set direction to place pictures. This provides for text-direction to be used according to the conventions of print for each language.
Voice Record and Playback:
When the learner is ready, they voice record their story (in any language). Pictures may be placed left to right horizontally, or right to left horizontally. There is no set direction to place pictures. This provides for text-direction to be used according to the conventions of print for each language.
Sharing Your Voice Story:
Stories can be saved which provides a method to document language development over time. Learners may also share their stories with others, such as to share a favourite story with a family member or to share a story with a teacher. Through the app, the learner could share their voice stories via e-mail.
