SymbolStix library

Exciting news! From January 2012, we will be including the SymbolStix symbol library as part of the standard Grid 2 package at no additional cost. Widgit symbols are already part of the package, so you now have two libraries from which to select your symbols.

SymbolStix is a popular symbol library with over 12,000 symbols that are regularly updated to include famous people and brands.

The Grid 2 - version 2.8 released

Version 2.8 of The Grid 2 includes some fantastic new features, including support for our forthcoming Grid Player App. The update is available now from Sensory Update.

(Start menu > All programs > Sensory Software > Utilities > Sensory Update).

Here are some of the great new features:

Photo viewer workspace makes it easy to view a photo slideshow using ‘next’ and ‘previous’ commands. The ‘set folder command’ allows you to choose which folder of photos to view.
The new ‘add to dictionary’ command means users can add names of people, places and slang words to their prediction dictionary.
EasyWave environment control support added. Please contact us if you are interested in finding out more about how to implement EasyWave.
The new web browser allows the reading of websites by paragraph.
Grid Player support is visible but will not work until the App is released.
