Using Apple Shortcuts to Translate the content of the Message Window to a different language in TD Snap

Posted on by

I spent quite a bit of time exploring this today to help answer a question over in the Tobii Dynavox® Community group on Facebook. Decided to share it here too in case anybody else is needing a way to translate the content of the Message Window in TD Snap into a second language.

Here’s information about how you can use Apple Shortcuts in two different ways in TD Snap to translate the content of the Message Window from Italian to English. But you could do this in several different supported languages. And the “Share Sheet” option worked in several other iOS AAC apps that offer a way to share the text from the Message Window. Not all. But several.

Watch the YouTube video outside of my blog to see the Description section where I shared links for all of the Shortcuts that I created and a free 2 page handout with screenshots of the commands needed in each Shortcut.

This Screen Recording was done on September 23, 2026 on my iPad Air 11” (M2) running iPadOS 26.5.2 and the most current version of TD Snap AAC Legacy (version 1.40.2.4885).

It is my personal iPad that is NOT on any type of MDM device management system.

I have no way to know if this will work on a managed / locked device or if it will work in the same way on iPadOS 27 and beyond or on future versions of TD Snap.

Also sharing here in this blog post to make it accessible to more folks:

Shortcut links (specifically for translating the content of the Message Window from Italian to English / English to Italian in TD Snap. Could be edited for any supported languages):

How to redownload the full paid version of TD Snap AAC (now known as TD Snap AAC Legacy) if originally purchased prior to May 21, 2024

Posted on by

If you purchased the full paid version of TD Snap AAC prior to May 21, 2024 and need to reinstall it you need to look in your Apps – My Apps section in the App Store for “TD Snap AAC Legacy”. That area is in the top right corner of the App Store.

The red arrow is pointing to the top right corner where you tap to find the Apps – My Apps section. Yours will have a different picture.
a closer look at the two different app icons. The one *without* the white banner in the top left corner is the Legacy version of the app

TD Snap AAC Legacy is “unlisted” in the App Store so it won’t show up in a search in the main part of the App Store.

Here’s the link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/td-snap-aac-legacy/id1257753762.

Read the app description in the App Store for information about why it is listed this way and why a $1,000.00 price is shown.

(Note: If you are looking to purchase the app in a school district please see my post about TD Snap Enterprise for an alternative way to purchase it for a significantly lower 1x purchase price)

Important:

  • You must be logged into the same Apple ID / Apple Account originally used to purchase TD Snap AAC prior to May 21, 2024.
  • If you are seeing a price instead of a downward facing download arrow then log out of the App Store – do a Forced Restart on that iPad – when it starts back up log back into the App Store making sure that it’s with the same Apple ID / Apple Account used to originally purchase that app. 
  • If you still see a price instead of the download arrow after doing a Forced Restart and you are sure that you are logged into the same Apple ID / Apple Account originally used to purchase the full paid version of this app, you should contact Tobii Dynavox Customer Support for assistance. (I don’t have any affiliation with the company so I can’t assist you with this)
  • If your iPad is on any type of MDM device management system then you will need to contact the company or school district managing it for assistance.

Update 1/24/26: I saw this helpful handout comparing the 4 versions of the app icons shared in a comment on a post in the TD Snap Core First English group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AMWnmNeaH/?

Note: This is NOT an endorsement of the company’s decision to abruptly no longer offer the general public a way to make a 1x app-only purchase of TD Snap as of 5/21/24. It was inequitable to do that.
