Article: [senit] talking pictogram

I didnt realise Picturepoint was still around. 
It would still be nice to have something that worked 
with a switch though- eg a scan switch to scan the
foods across the bottom ideally with audio feedback
and a choose switch which inserts chosen food into the
chart, ideally accompanied by the name of item and
suitable musical or sound effect! There still might be
value in a Flash non-switched version as I seem to
remember the Picturepoint chart input screen (not
shown on the website) had rather small icons of food
etc.
