Hi, I'm going to show how you can record your own speech when you create a tile. We do this by first going to edit mode. First we click the profile picture at the top right, then on start editing. Next we go to add new tile. Then here we can say what type of tile we'd like to add. Let's go with word, and let's say I'm going to add myself.

So I'll just type Rick here. And then I can choose here to record my own speech. Then we'll see a screen when we click on that. And then we can click on record your own speech to get started. So I'll just do that. I am Rick.

Then I stop the recording, and you can do three things: you can try again, play the recording, or confirm. I am Rick. That's what happens when I play the recording. Here I can trim it a bit. I am Rick.

I am Rick. So that the speech is a bit shorter and then easier to use in the app. Then I say confirm recording. Then I can create tile here. For now we won't configure an image. I'll just say confirm position.

Just to show that it works. Then we exit edit mode. If I now tap the Rick tile... I am Rick. Then we hear my voice. It's that easy.
