Abstract

Pictograms are ubiquitous: from public conveniences to private chat messages. The ease of interpretation of these symbolic representations has encouraged their usage in diverse fields and they are omnipresent in our learning systems, healthcare services and public recreational facilities. Their effectiveness as a form of non-verbal communication has propelled research to assist those with intellectual and developmental disorders, linguistic disadvantages and learning difficulties in expressing themselves, resulting in the Text2Picto platform, under the Able to Include initiative. The encouraging results of this project, together with the growing awareness in the field of mental health and the current status of lexical resources and technological tools, has prompted the study into the multifaceted benefits of this form of communication and the possibilities of extending it to the multitude of Indian languages.
