ICT-AAC Writing

ICT-AAC PisalicaThe ICT-AAC Writing ("ICT-AAC Pisalica" in Croatian) application makes it easy to learn how to properly write capital letters (graphemes) which is not sufficiently represented in available applications.

They often remember the wrong orientation of the letter (known as mirror writing) or the wrong writing direction. Such writing taught in a wrong way is then often difficult to correct. This application is the first application intended for learning of Croatian graphemes.
