During the past year, Global Symbols has focussed on increasing the stability of our online resources, increasing security to ensure that the resources created by members are easier to find and that the symbol base and tools are well integrated and easy to use. We are also in the process of working with the Asterics Foundation to more closely integrate the Global Symbols resources with a free communication App that supports multiple languages and is available across platforms. This offers a free solution to potential users. We have also contributed to a European Project to develop resources to support access to communication within the legal system and justice process for those with little or no speech and intellectual disabilities.Our most significant activity has been the award of a grant from Microsoft to develop generative AI tools that will radically reduce the cost of creating dating symbols to meet the language and cultural needs of specific countries and communities.
Global Symbols has continued to consult and communicate with stakeholders in various ways. We have attended major events and conferences attended by Stakeholders to present our work and take feedback on the approach and challenges faced. These have included the ISAAC conference (International Conference for AAC) and ASHA, the American Association for Speech and Hearing and the Zero Project 2024 conference. In addition, we seek feedback regularly via social media and consult informally with users via email and online calls. Our website includes a feedback mechanism where ideas and issues can be raised with the team and acted upon. We have also begun discussions with AAC companies to take feedback on our AI Symbol Creation tool, have made an Alpha version available to a stakeholders group and have begun the process of formally establishing partnerships with stakeholders in Texas and Ethiopia who will be the testing panels for the Beta version of our new tools.
