Snaps Photo Library

The Snaps photo library is a collection of images of common objects ready for use in your communication materials and grids. Snaps is an add-on to use with InPrint 2 and Communicate: SymWriter.
Pictographic language is based, like language in general, on the ability of human beings to communicate through signs, in this case drawings that represent concepts. TecnoAccesible also includes symbol libraries as languages, such as ARASAAC or SPC, along with other more structured languages, such as Minspeak.

METACOM is a professionally designed symbol system especially developed for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), whose continuous development I still enjoy doing. The need for better means of communication for my daughter Meta, but also the positive responses and suggestions from users, parents, teachers, therapists, etc. made METACOM possible.
The idea of using graphic symbols as a means of or support for communication or in more general terms as a picture word processor, appears to be on the increase. The designers initially started out to create an effective picture system and a handy aid to call up pictures quickly and efficiently. The nature and the build-up of the system has thus come from the objective. The Beta system was developed as a visual, communication-supportive system, from the conviction that there existed a void in the variety of systems that in general were found to be too abstract or to systematic.

The primary goal of these devices and the supporting interventions is to offer timely, consistent, expressive communication options to individuals who have limited natural speech. An important secondary purpose of an AAC system, especially for young users with developmental disabilities, involves supporting language acquisition.

The project started in early 2004 by Inkscape developers Jon Phillips and Bryce Harrington to collect designs of flags from all around the world, having been inspired by the efforts started by Christian Schaller (Uraeus) at the 26. Oct 2003 to create a collection of flags created by users of vector graphics software Sodipodi. It progressed very well and the project goals were extended to generic clipart.
