We’ve introduced a set of updates to SymbolStix Prime that make it easier to create clear, personalized visual supports for communication and learning.
These enhancements give educators more control over how symbols and text are presented - helping ensure materials are meaningful, accessible, and tailored to each student’s needs.
More control over images with freeform cropping
The Image Crop Tool now supports freeform cropping, allowing educators to highlight the most meaningful part of an image.
This makes it easier to highlight key details when creating lessons or communication boards and visual supports. In AAC and visual communication, small details matter. Focusing on the right part of an image can make a real difference in how text is understood.
By giving educators more control, this update helps ensure visuals are clear, relevant, and aligned with each student’s communication goals.
Greater flexibility with text and symbol formatting
Educators can now adjust font style, text size, and symbol size when working with symbolized text
This makes symbol-supported content easier to read, customize, and match to each student’s needs. Our goal is to make the tool more usable and accessible for more learners and teaching situations.
By making symbol-supported text easier to customize, this update supports clearer and more personalized symbolized text builds understanding, self-expression, and confidence for students.
Download symbols with text labels included
Symbols can now be downloaded with their text labels included, making them easier to use across different materials and settings.
This removes the need to manually add labels after downloading, saving time and ensuring consistency between symbols and language.
Including labels also helps students with disabilities by connecting symbols to language, which supports their learning and communication.
Supporting meaningful communication and expression
Together, these updates make it easier to create visual supports that are not only clear, but truly meaningful for each student.
By improving how images, text, and symbols can be customized and used, SymbolStix Prime continues to support communication, understanding, and self-expression - helping every learner be seen, heard, and understood.
