How to use Mosaic Voice

Log in or sign up

Start from the side menu, then sign in and wait while your account loads.

Complete Your Profile (self only)

Pick a birthday and gender (Male, Female, Non-binary, or Prefer not to say), then tap Continue. Age is calculated from the birthday. This screen is for your self profile.

Add child profiles in Settings

To support someone else, open Settings → Child Profiles. Creating a child profile requires caregiver consent. Use Use Profile to switch who is active.

Open Images from the menu

Drawer → Images. You must be logged in; otherwise the app prompts you to log in or register.

Choose a category

Select an existing category from the list, or create a new one. All cards in this session are added to that category. For a new category, turn on In Home if you want it to appear on the communicator’s Home grid.

Upload images

Tap Upload at the bottom to pick photos from your library or camera. Each image becomes its own card draft.

Finish each draft

For every card, enter a title and optionally change the word type. Tap Next to jump to the next unfinished draft. Every card must have all required fields filled before Create is available—keep using Next until no drafts are left incomplete.

Thumbnail strip

The row of thumbnails at the bottom is a quick overview of your drafts. A red border means that card still needs work. Tap X on a thumbnail to remove that draft from the batch.

Create

When all drafts are complete, the button changes to Create. Tap it to save. A new category shows up on the Categories tab and on Home if you chose In Home. Otherwise, new cards appear in the category you selected.

Open Board Files from the menu

Drawer → Board Files. You must be logged in; otherwise the app prompts you to log in or register.

Choose a category

Select an existing category from the list, or create a new one. All imported cards in this session are added to that category. For a new category, turn on In Home if you want it to appear on the communicator’s Home grid.

Upload a board file

Tap Upload at the bottom and pick a .obf (single board) or .obz (zipped set of boards) file. Each symbol in the file becomes its own card draft—with title, image, category, and word type already filled in from the import.

Review and edit drafts

Unlike creating cards from photos, imported drafts arrive mostly complete. Tap Next to move through the batch and change anything you want—title, category, word type, or image—before saving. Every card must still pass validation before Create is available.

Create

When all drafts are complete, the button changes to Create. Tap it to save the imported vocabulary to your account. A new category shows up on the Categories tab and on Home if you chose In Home. Otherwise, cards appear in the category you selected.

Enter reorder mode

On Home or a category screen, tap the swap-vertical icon on the right side of the dock (login required).

Update card details

Change the title, move the card to another category, change the word type, or replace the photo. The save button will appear once a change is made.

Enter reorder mode

On Home or a category screen, tap the swap-vertical icon on the right side of the dock (login required).

Save or cancel

Tap the checkmark on the dock to save deletions. Tap X on the left to discard and keep removed cards. ForYou and Search do not support reorder.

Open Settings

Drawer → Settings. Subscription, profile, and app preference sections appear when you are logged in.

Edit My Profile

Update display name, birthday, age, gender, and profile notes for the self profile.

Child Profiles

Create, edit, or delete child profiles. New child profiles require the caregiver consent switch. Tap Use Profile to make one active.

Account actions

The Account section shows your email plus Log Out and Delete Account.

Replay history phrases

Practice tapping a history line to speak and reload a successful sentence instead of rebuilding from scratch.

Search together

When a word is hard to find, open Search, pick the result, and navigate to the category so the communicator learns where it lives.

What word type does

Word type sets the card’s color gradient. The subtitle in the picker says: “Part of speech controls card tint in grids.” It is stored as grammar on each card and drives the tint you see everywhere that card appears.

Choose a type when creating or editing

In Images (create) or the edit modal during reorder, open Word type and tap a labeled chip with a color swatch—Noun, Verb, Pronoun, Adjective, Preposition, Question, Conjunction, Determiner, Adverb, Important, Negation, Emergency, or Social.

Teach color + meaning together

Many teams use consistent word types so learners can scan by color—e.g. green verbs for actions, orange nouns for people and things. Match your SLP or classroom system when possible.

Open Accessibility in Settings

Drawer → Settings → Accessibility. Read the description: it switches Fitzgerald word-type colors for common forms of color blindness.

Turn on Colorblind-friendly word colors

Flip the toggle labeled Colorblind-friendly word colors. The choice is saved on your device and restored next time you open the app.

What changes

Symbol cards on Home, Categories, and ForYou grids use the new gradients. The Word type picker swatches update too, so create/edit screens match the board.

Adjust or reset overrides

Each field is optional—leave it empty to keep the screen default. Change individual values to tune row count, button sizes, fonts, or colors. Clear a field to drop that override, or scroll to the bottom of the list and tap Reset All Grid Overrides to restore every value at once.
