Everyone in the Family Can Record Their Own Version of Timeless Classics
A Natural Way for More Parent-Child Interaction
TOKYO, Sept. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I-FREEK INC., a mobile content and e-commerce company, has announced the release of PICVO, a new digital picture book app for iOS. With an upcoming Android version as well, I-FREEK is quickly making PICVO available for nearly every leading smartphone and tablet device(likes iPhone series,iPad, iPod touch ) on the market. In addition to English, I-FREEK will be releasing PICVO in a number of other languages, looking to become the world's number one platform for children's digital picture books.
PICVO is a digital picture book app that opens the world of great children's literature, from Hans Christian Andersen to the Brothers Grimm and others. Use the default narration that comes with PICVO, or record your own version to create your family's very own narrated picture book.
Have mom or dad narrate a story so the kids can listen to familiar voices when parents aren't home to read in person. Record grandma or grandpa's version of a classic fairy tale -- a treasure and a keepsake that will keep your children entertained and interested in reading during the most important development stages of their lives.
PICVO was originally released in Japan in February 2011 under the name KOEHON (literally "voice book"). The market enthusiastically greeted the app as a way to foster more parent-child communication and as a boon to children's enrichment. The app has been downloaded more than 100,000 in a little over five months. (Additionally, KOEHON has more than 50 stories!)
I-FREEK will continue to produce enriching content for the world. You can expect great things from us.
