Frequently Asked Questions

I'm hearing speech from both Quick Cards and my assistive technology. What should I do?

If you're experiencing overlapping speech, disable speech within the Quick Cards app. You can do this with the Speech Toggle on the Main Menu or by adjusting the Voice option in Settings.

Can I share my decks with others?

Yes, you can share your decks with others by exporting them from the Teacher Dashboard. We highly recommend managing decks from the Teacher Dashboard.
