Talking ButtonsFAQ & Support
Where do I install Talking Buttons?
Android: Google Play. Chrome / Chromebook: Chrome Web Store.
Scan to install on Android
Where can I download ready-made boards (OBF/OBZ)?
See the Board library on this site. Import the file in the app or extension after downloading.
How do I move boards between the phone app and the Chrome extension?
Use export in one app to save an .obz (or .obf) file, then import that file in the other. Both follow the Open Board Format.
Text-to-speech sounds wrong or is missing
On Android, install or select the language you need in system Text-to-speech settings. On Chrome, voices depend on the browser and OS; check Chrome’s accessibility / speech settings and installed languages.
Microphone / recording
Recording is optional. Android and Chrome will only use the microphone when you start a recording. If something fails, check app permissions in device settings or extension settings in your browser.
Is internet required?
Boards work offline once set up. You need a connection to install or update the app or extension, and to download content (e.g. OBF files or button images) from external sources.
