Adding Blissymbols to AAC Devices

If your AAC device provides a way for you to import PNG files directly, you can quickly obtain PNG format versions of all the Bliss Core Words. 

TD Snap Proloquo2Go

Download and expand the file called “Bliss_Core_Words_PNG.zip“.  These same Blissymbols and more can be obtained directly from Blissymbolics Communication International.

On the other hand, if you’re AAC app restricts you to inserting images from the iPad Photos app, you can use this page and the process below to add images from this page to your Photos app – and from there to your AAC app:

  1. Use Safari on your iPad to navigate to this page.
  2. Tap on an image below that you’d like to add to your AAC app.  Wait for the full-sized image to display.
  3. Tap and hold on the image.  A pop-up will appear with the option to “Add to Photos”.
  4. [Repeat for any other Blissymbols you’d like to add to your AAC app.]
  5. Now bring up your AAC app and create or modify a button.  Choose to add the image from your “Photo Library” or however your app refers to the Photos app.
afraid after afternoon again
aide all gone all and
answer arm ask away

confused count day die

home hot how much how
hungry hurry hurt I, me
