Everyone should back up their customized vocabulary boards frequently. If your speech app is accidentally deleted or modified, or you need to send your device in for repair, you will have a copy to restore quickly.

We recommend using Dropbox for your backups. You can sign up for a free Dropbox basic account at dropbox.com/basic or through the Dropbox app if you have it installed on your device. 

Below are instructions on how to back up different speech apps.

If you have additional questions, please contact AbleNet’s ableCARE Product Success Team.
