Getting started

This section takes you from a new FluentPet kit to your first words with your learner. Still deciding what to buy? See Kits: Choose your first FluentPet kit.

  1. Unbox your buttons. See what comes with each button in Speak Up! Buttons: See what’s in the box.
  2. Record your first words. Record a word on each button, as described in Speak Up! Buttons: Record a word.
  3. Set up your board. Place your buttons on HexTiles, as described in HexTiles: Space out buttons on your board.

If a button does not work, see Speak Up! Buttons: Troubleshooting.

Follow these steps in order:

  1. Identify the hardware. See what comes with your Base and Connect Buttons and learn their parts in Connect: See what’s in the box and identify the parts.
  2. Install the app. Create your account and learn the app’s tabs in App: Get started with the FluentPet app.
  3. Set up your Base. Add your Base in the app, as described in Connect Base: Set up your Base in the app.
  4. Link your first Buttons. Link each Connect Button to your Base and record its word, as described in Connect Buttons: Link a Button and record its word.

If something does not work during setup, see Connect: Troubleshooting.
