When you first register for CoughDrop we'll open the Getting Started tool for you to help you set up your account.
The tool will walk you through some initial choices on the way you want CoughDrop to run from voice options and board choices to button selecting and system preferences.
If you need to find the Getting Started Wizard again later you can navigate to "extras" on your CoughDrop dashboard and then select "learn and setup."
Once you have adjusted your settings and chosen a speech board, you can enter speak mode using your home board or another board of your choice to start talking using CoughDrop.
