Getting Started

Sensory Boards lets you create communication boards in Open Board Format (OBF). Use the home screen to create, load, or manage your boards.

Create New Board

Tap Create New to start a new communication board. Choose a name, grid size, and start adding symbols to cells.

Adding Symbols

Tap any cell on your board to open the cell editor. You can:

• Search and select from built-in symbol libraries
• Generate AI symbols using the AI Symbol Generator
• Upload your own images
• Set labels and background colours

AI Symbol Generator

The AI Symbol Generator creates custom symbols on demand. Features include:

• Multiple symbol styles (PiCom, Flat, Emoji, and more)
• CVI Mode (beta) for high-contrast symbols suited to Cortical Visual Impairment
• Background removal and SVG generation options

Exporting & Sharing

Use the toolbar to export your board as OBF or OBZ files, which can be shared and used in compatible communication apps.

Managing Boards

The Manage screen lets you rename, duplicate, or delete saved boards.

Settings

Access settings via the gear button on the home screen to configure language, symbol libraries, and other preferences.
