GlobeNewswire 2011-09-09
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.
