• Using Predictive Text: You can make selections from the suggested words that appear on-screen to build a sentence. These will improve over time as they learn the way you like to talk.
• Manual Typing: If you prefer to manually type out your message, you can simply use the keyboard to input your desired content.
• Writing or Drawing: Spoken also offers canvases that allow you to express your ideas through drawings or handwriting. Spoken will understand your content and convert it into text.

All of these options can be used interchangeably and switched between fluidly.

Once you have composed your desired sentence or phrase, you can proceed to play it out loud using the ‘speak’ button located in the top right corner of the app.
