Tactile symbols are used to help individuals who are blind or visually impaired and may also have complex communication disabilities to express themselves. Download and expand both .zip files. Place the two folders in the "Bliss Tactile Symbols - part 2" into the "Bliss Tactile Symbols" folder. Delete both .zip files and the "Bliss Tactile Symbols - part 2" (now empty) folder. For instructions on how to use this tactile symbol designer go to: https://volksswitch.org/index.php/volks-devices/bliss-tactile-symbols/ Update 1 Dec 2021 - changed symbols to remove action and evaluation indicators from graphic to simplify raised graphic - assumption that users will rely on the top edge of the symbol (or the color of the filament) to distinguish between nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. (contact me for files that still support indicators) Update 24 Oct 2021 - added support for creating Bliss puzzles using the same interface used to create Bliss challenge tiles sets Update 2 Oct 2021 - official version for beta testers, added support for Bliss graphics that OpenSCAD has difficulty processing Update 16 Aug 2021 - multiple additions and updates in preparation for field trials Update 4 Apr 2021 - small UI change Update 27 Mar 2021 - changed the top end of a non-verb, non-adjective, non-adverb symbol from flat to rounded to provide an additional feature (other than the earth line) to determine tactilely the proper orientation of the symbol. Left a flat top in for use in designing a symbol that would hold multiple words (e.g., I love you) - a phrase. Update 31 Mar 2021 - fixed bug associated with resizing the symbol
