Hi, I'm going to show how you can build a sentence in the app. When you tap different word tiles, you can add them to the sentence, so that eventually you can speak a full sentence. To do this, we'll first turn on this setting.
We'll go to the settings by tapping the blue icon at the top right. Then go to app settings. And then we scroll down a little bit, and here you see build sentence with selected words. We turn that on. And say we want to answer a question, namely: do you want something to eat, and if so, what do you want for breakfast?
Well, then we can first tap yes, and then we see at the bottom that yes is added. Then we can go to food and drink, and then to breakfast. And then we can say: I would like bread and ham.
Well, and then at the bottom we can have the whole sentence spoken. Yes, bread, ham. To then make a whole sentence clear to the other person you're communicating with.
You can also delete the sentence again. You see a small trash icon. You can tap it to remove the sentence again.
