PictoMaker is a web app that translates sentences into sequences of pictograms.
This version of PictoMaker is deprecated. You can enjoy a new, more elegant and improved version called PictoMaker Lite. PictoMaker Lite is a low overhead API designed to provide basic functionality, and with more features!
- Better tokenization and lemmatization.
- More organized code.
- Multilanguage support!
The scripts provided here lack documentation, and some of the code may be written in a not-so-pretty way (as this was the first webapp that I ever implemented 😅). Please do not use in production. This repository has been left as-is, as I'm frankly really proud of it!
PictoMaker includes the following features:
-
Sytactical analysis using a natural language processing toolkit (
nltk). -
Syntax highlighting, coloring the borders of each card depending on the category of the word.
-
Custom highlighting styles: the border color can be changed.
-
Colored/uncolored pictograms: can switch between colored pictograms and black and white pictograms.
-
Pictogram search engine: you can change the photos using our search engine, or you can add your custom ones via URL.
Upcoming: Custom photo by URL is under development.
-
File export: cards can be exported to:
-
PNG: single image with the entire sentence.
-
ZIP: individual cards, as PNG, compressed.
-
PDF: for printing.
Upcoming: PDF output is under development.
-
And much more! You can test it out at https://pictomaker.herokuapp.com/
Important notice: as of the most recent update, PictoMaker only supports Spanish.
