If you saved a backup of your speech app to Dropbox, you can bring it back onto your device. This is helpful when you move to a new device or need to reset your speech app.

Before You Begin

• Make sure you have a backup of your speech app saved in Dropbox. To make one, see Back Up Your Speech App.
• Have your Dropbox email and password ready.
• Connect your device to Wi-Fi.

Instructions

The exact steps are a little different in each speech app. For step-by-step instructions for your app, see the Speech App Guides.

Most speech apps use one of the two ways below.

Restore From Inside Your Speech App

1. Open your speech app.
2. Open the app’s menu or settings.
3. Look for an option such as Import, Restore, or Backup, then select it.
4. Select Dropbox.
5. Sign in to Dropbox if asked.
6. Select your backup file. If several people save backups to the same Dropbox account, you may need to scroll to find the right one.
7. Tap Restore, Import, or Save to finish.

Restore From the Dropbox App

Some speech apps ask you to start in Dropbox instead.

1. Open the Dropbox app and sign in.
2. Find your speech app backup file.
3. Tap the three dots next to the file.
4. Tap Save to Device.
5. When asked, choose your speech app to open the file.
6. Follow the prompts in your speech app to finish.

After the restore finishes, open your speech app and check that your vocabulary and settings are there.
