Troubleshooting & Technical Support

If you are experiencing technical difficulties not found below, contact us. We are here to help.

Make sure you're on the most recent version of Symbol-It! We're constantly updating Symbol-It to provide you with the smoothest symboling experience as possible. Please check with the App Store to make sure that you're on the latest version of Symbol-It.

Symbol Display Issues

You can find how to activate "dark mode" on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch here: Apple Support

 

There are a few things we can check:

  1. Make sure that you have a stable internet connection (WiFi or Cellular). The easiest way to check your connection is to open Safari and access the SymbolSpeak website using this link.

  2. Ensure that you have given Symbol-It permission to use both the microphone and speech recognition. You can check this in the Settings App under Privacy → Microphone and Privacy → Speech Recognition.

Error Messages

Symbol-It can't translate what you're saying into symbols unless Siri is enabled for your device. To turn on Siri, you need to enable one of the three following settings in the Settings App:

 

  • Settings → Siri & Search → Listen for “Hey Siri”
  • Settings → Siri & Search → Press Top (or Home, depending on which iPad you have) Button for Siri
  • Settings → General → Keyboard → Enable Dictation

For a live demonstration of this fix, please see this YouTube video.
