Transaction Science 7c29c52054 feat(aac pagesets): four phrase page sets, built from readable sources, in English and ten languages 
Our own page sets for the reference app and any Open Board Format app:

- Adult conversation (41 boards): an always-row (Back, Yes, No, I don't
  know, Wait), a 0-10 scale, pain, comfort and feelings scales, repairs,
  word finding, six scripts as one-press-per-line sequences, cards that
  explain aphasia, ALS/MND, PPA, brain injury and Parkinson's in the
  person's own voice, care, positioning and breathing requests that
  claim nothing is sent, life-story and people templates for the
  person's photos, a page for banked messages, and a staged plan for PPA
  written for partners.
- Intent first in 12, 20 and 40 cells: start pages by purpose, predictable
  branches, operational commands in one place on every page, popups that
  close after a choice, and page numbers for a printed partner book.
- Themed phrases: nine 6x3 pages of starters, words and messages.
- First switches and messages: one-message pages, sequences, press for
  fun, two and four choices, and learn-to-scan pages.

tools/pagesets/phrases/build.py validates the YAML sources (layout,
links, symbol concepts, proprietary names, medical-claim wording) and
writes the packages, a catalogue and the licence into --out DIR,
reproducibly; --check fails on a non-reproducible build or stale reports.
Packages are generated by the site build, not committed.

Every text was drafted, back-translated by a reader who never saw the
English, and judged, in up to three rounds: 10,748 of 10,750 agreed
(es fr de pt it zh ja ar hi ru), recorded per text as "agreed by two model
readers; native review pending"; the two others stay in English, marked.

A new aac-core test runs the generator, then imports every package with
the app's importer and an independent OBF validator, and checks structure,
links, symbol references, that no language moves a cell, that each cell is
in one language and says so, and that translated cells import as the
person's own words with their chosen symbols.

The design notes propose (not implemented) a sequence extension, popups,
speak-only pages, links that say words and one-target scanning, with SPEC
text, and how the chooser should offer each set.

Licence of the phrase page sets

The phrase page sets — their sources in aac-rs/tools/pagesets/phrases/ (sources/, translations/) and every package build.py builds from them (<set>.obz, <lang>/<set>.obz, index.json; this file is copied beside them) — are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International licence (CC BY-SA 4.0), https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/.

Attribution: "Phrase page sets © 2026 AuraSense Tech Corporation and the open-standards AAC contributors, CC BY-SA 4.0", with a link to https://aac.aurasense.ai/.

ShareAlike applies to the page sets and their sources, not to the code that builds or reads them (build.py, review.py and the app: Apache-2.0, see the repository's LICENSE).

What they contain

  • Words and layouts: written for this project, except where a cell's ext_aurasense_provenance.words_source names another source. The only one is universal-core: 21 single words on the 40-cell intent-first start page, from the Universal Core vocabulary (Center for Literacy and Disability Studies, UNC; Project Core), licensed CC BY 4.0 / CC BY-SA 4.0, used as words only, without its symbols.
  • Symbols (the English packages' images/*.svg): adapted from Mulberry Symbols (https://mulberrysymbols.org, © 2018-2026 Steve Lee, CC BY-SA 4.0; symbols designed by Claire Barge; set originated by Garry Paxton) and OpenMoji (https://openmoji.org, CC BY-SA 4.0), cut from the app's sprites (aac-rs/crates/aac-web/public/symbols/, see LICENSES.md there). Each image in each board carries its set's licence, attribution and conditions. Mulberry's condition: you may charge for your product, but never for the symbols themselves; they stay free of cost and freely available to all.
  • Translations: drafted and checked by two independent AI model readers; a native speaker's review is still to come. They are part of the page sets and under the same licence.

None of the content comes from PCS, SymbolStix, Widgit, METACOM, ARASAAC, Sclera, or any proprietary page set or vocabulary.
