[senit] talking pictogram

I didnt realise Picturepoint was still around.

unless picture point has changed it has the input grid
at the top which is not helpful for IWB use. 
You can enlarge the input grid to full screen but then
you lose the simultaneous showing of the pictogram
graph growing as data is input.
ecah picture selected does have speech output or an
appropriate sound effect. ie it has some good features
but doesnt seem to quite do the job of making
pictograms accessible to students needing a multimedia
interface
