How do I use dark mode in Spoken?

Using dark mode will change the app’s color palette to be more easily readable in high- or low-light situations, such as nighttime.

By default, Spoken will detect and mirror the dark mode settings of your operating system. In other words, if you have dark mode turned on at the OS level, Spoken will have dark mode turned on as well.

Enabling or disabling dark mode

  1. In the app, tap the gear icon in the lower right corner of the screen. This opens the app’s settings menu.
An orange arrow points to the cog icon at the bottom of the Spoken - Tap to Talk AAC app.

  1. Scroll until you see the Display & Accessibility heading.

  2. Locate the “Auto-Detect Dark Mode” toggle under the Display & Accessibility heading. It is identified by a half-filled circle icon. If you want to permanently set the app to dark or light mode, turn this toggle off.

The location of the auto-detect dark mode toggle in Spoken's settings menu is highlighted with an orange outline. The toggle is off and the page is in light mode.
  1. Once you disable “Auto-Detect Dark Mode,” a new toggle will appear called “Use Dark Mode,” identified by a crescent moon icon. This switch allows you to manually control dark mode.
With “auto-detect dark mode” toggled off, the option to manually enable dark mode is now available. The dark mode toggle is highlighted with an orange outline.
  1. Turn on “Use Dark Mode” to permanently set the app to its dark theme. Leave it off to permanently set the app to light mode.
The dark mode option is still highlighted with an orange outline. The toggle is now on and the page has become shades of black, gray, and dark blue with white text and icons.

Does Spoken have a large print option?
