Getting familiar with GoTalk Now
When you first open GoTalk Now you will see several different options. The "Player" button takes you to the communication pages. "Page Editor" allows you to create your own custom pages for communication. "Settings" allows you to customize how you use the app. Under "Store" are several different apps to purchase as well as text-to-speech voices. "Help" will give you options for learning how to use GoTalk Now. The video tutorial options is not very robust or helpful, a search on YouTube for videos is more helpful. You can, however, access the user's guide from the "Help" button.

If you select "Player" mode you will be directed to the communication pages. In order to return to the initial page to edit content swipe down with three fingers. You can also touch and hold the little house or "Home" button within the app for about 6 seconds to take you back to the initial page.
