You can add, change, or remove a speech app on your QuickTalker Freestyle yourself using the QTF Manager app. It only takes a few minutes, and you won’t need to call ableCARE.
Before You Begin
- Open the QTF Manager app and create a 5-digit Device Manager Code, if you haven’t already.
- Connect your QuickTalker Freestyle to Wi-Fi.
If you’re adding or changing a speech app, you should also:
- Back up your speech app.
- Have your FN number ready.
- Have your device serial number ready.
Add or Change a Speech App
You can have up to two speech apps at a time, labeled “Speech App 1” and “Speech App 2.”
- Open the Utilities folder, then tap QTF Manager.
- Enter your Device Manager Code.
- Tap Change Speech App.
- Back up your current speech app if you haven’t already, then tap to continue.
- Select Speech App 1 or Speech App 2, depending on where you want the new app to go.
- Your current speech apps and your device serial number are shown at the top of the screen.
- Choose the speech app you want.
- The new app replaces whatever is currently in that spot, even if the spot already has an app.
- Enter your FN number.
- Accept the license agreement, if asked.
- Submit the form, then wait for the confirmation screen.
- Your new app installs automatically as long as you’re connected to Wi-Fi.
Tip: If the Wi-Fi drops, the app keeps trying on its own. You can also tap Retry Now once you’re back on Wi-Fi.
