Q: How can I learn how to use this app?
A:
There are several ways you can learn how to use the app.
1. Demo Account
You should try the Demo/Tutorial. You might have skipped this when you first installed but you can go through it again. This is under the Support screen.
2. Spoken Hints
The app tells you how to use it when you encounter a new feature. This occurs as you are going along in the form of spoken hints. If you want to reset the spoken tips if you missed them the first time, you can do this under Support screen too, there is a button "Reset Spoken Hints".
3. "Help"
Say "help" any time (at a "listening" prompt or after tapping the microphone) to get context relevant information about the screen you are on and the currently available voice commands.
4. Cheat Sheet / Quick Commands Reference
Download our cheat sheet to get a full list of all the commands, including dictation commands. Print this out and refer to it while you are learning the commands. This guide is also available in the app, under Support > Quick Commands Reference.
