Creating and Editing a Message

To create a new message:

1. Tap "New" on the menu. A blank message template will appear. (If you are instead taken to a screen with pre-made templates, you can choose one to use as opposed to a blank template.)
2. To add a photo or video clip, tap in the designated area:
   1. Tap where indicated to select your photo or video.
   2. The next screen will display your available files. Use the pull-down in the top-left corner to change the folder location.
   3. Tap on the photo or video that you want, and tap on the "Select" button on the bottom left corner of the screen.
3. Tap within the text box to edit the text message*.
4. Tap where indicated to select an audio clip for inclusion in the message. After you select the file you want*, tap on the "Select" button on the bottom left corner of the screen. Note: you can only add an audio clip to a slide if it contains a photo. You cannot add audio if you use a video clip.

* In addition to choosing one of the available photos, videos, or audio files, you may be able to record new audio. You can also include pre-saved "My Text" text instead of typing a new message:

• To record audio: Tap the "Record" button on the audio selection screen. A record screen will appear where you can find record and cancel buttons to capture narration or other audio effects.
• To include "My Text": Tap the voice bubble icon within the text field. You can then choose previously saved words, phrases, sentences, etc. Tap and hold on the "My Text" screen and choose "New" to create a new canned text message.

You are not only limited to creating one slide. Your message can consist of multiple slides which can be edited and rearranged at any time:

• To change the contents of a slide: Tap on any component (photo/video, text, audio clip) and select a new one.
• To add an additional slide to a message: Tap on "Slides" from Menu and choose "Insert Slide".
• To remove a slide from a message: Tap on "Slides" from Menu and choose "Delete Slide".
• To alter the order of the slides in a message: Tap on "Slides" from Menu and choose "Organize Slides". Tap and drag a slide to change the order.

Sending a Message

You can send your message by tapping on the "Send" button located in the bottom left corner of the screen.

You may send messages to mobile phones, email addresses, or both. You may also type in a subject. As your message is being sent, it will appear in the Outbox. When sending is complete, the message will move to the Sent folder (if there is a problem, it will remain in the Outbox).
