Spring updating behind the scenes!

In recent months we have added access to Symbol Creator AI v.1 on our main menu. Once logged into the Global Symbols repository there is no need to separately sign up to use the app. It can be used in light or dark mode as shown on the instructions that explain how to use the app.

We aim to improve the prompt support to gain improved outcomes (prompt guidance) and have added an AI realistic symbol collection thanks to our collaboration with the developers of PiCom. A symbol of choice can be uploaded to Symbol Creator to improve the look of an AI created symbol in a chosen symbol set style. The example shows a realistic symbol of a child uploaded, with a simple prompt that then generates a stylised Jellow symbol - the uploaded image is used as a 'seed' as a starting point that can shape how the AI model generates an output. But it is not always necessary to upload an image as good prompting can work just as well.

In the coming months many more symbol collections will be created using AI and we will update the repository and the look and feel of our apps plus more translations. We will be making more improvements to the Symbol Creator AI interface with ease of use and accessibility in mind with additiional prompt support thanks to our renewed Microsoft grant.

thank you
