The TejuTalks interface consists of several key components:

• Context Box: Located at the top, this listens to conversations and generates answer choices
• Keyboard: The main typing interface with letter and word prediction
• Answer Options: Four buttons that appear when using the Context Box
• Settings: Accessible via the gear icon for customization
• Bookmarks: Save frequently used phrases for quick access

To get the best experience with TejuTalks:

• Start with simple questions and familiar topics
• Speak clearly when using the Context Box microphone
• Take time to explore different features gradually
• Customize settings to match your preferences
• Practice regularly to build familiarity
• Be patient - the AI learns and improves over time

The Context Box is TejuTalks' AI-powered feature that listens to conversations and generates relevant answer options in real-time.

• Uses advanced speech recognition to capture spoken words
• Processes context using AI language models
• Generates 3-4 relevant answer choices instantly
• Updates dynamically as the conversation progresses

Here's how to effectively use the Context Box during conversations:

• Activate: Click the microphone icon in the Context Box
• Listen: The app will listen to the conversation around you
• Generate: Answer options appear automatically based on context
• Select: Choose the option that best matches what you want to say
• Continue: The conversation flows naturally with these quick selections

This is especially useful in group settings, classrooms, or therapy sessions where questions are asked in real-time.

Common issues and solutions:

• Microphone not working: Check browser permissions and device settings
• Poor recognition: Ensure strong WiFi connection and clear speech
• No answer options: Wait a few seconds or try rephrasing the question
• Incorrect options: The AI may need clearer context - try speaking more specifically

TejuTalks uses AI to predict which letters are most likely to come next in a word:

• Only relevant letters remain visible on the keyboard
• Unnecessary letters are hidden to reduce confusion
• Predictions are based on common word patterns and context
• This reduces motor planning demands and typing errors

For example, if you type "T", letters like Q, X, Z are hidden because they rarely follow T in English words.

Word prediction helps complete words faster:

• Common words appear as you type
• Context-aware suggestions based on conversation
• Tap any suggestion to complete the word instantly
• Reduces typing time by up to 70% for many users

The system learns from your typing patterns and frequently used words to improve suggestions over time.

Customize your keyboard experience:

• Color-blind mode: All choices use blue, white, and grey tones
• Visual settings: Adjust colors and contrast for better visibility
• Accessibility: Modify button sizes and spacing as needed

Access these settings through the Settings menu (gear icon) in the top right corner.

Teachers can integrate TejuTalks seamlessly into lessons:

• Keep the Context Box active while teaching
• Ask comprehension questions during lessons
• Students respond instantly with generated answer choices
• No advance programming or setup required
• Check understanding in real-time

This makes it easy to include all students in group activities, regardless of their communication abilities.

Tips for using TejuTalks effectively in therapy:

• Start with familiar topics to build confidence
• Gradually introduce novel questions and scenarios
• Use the Context Box for dynamic, unscripted communication
• Encourage independence by fading support over time
• Track progress through increased participation and novel responses

TejuTalks works well in group settings:

• Multiple students can use TejuTalks simultaneously
• Each device generates personalized answer choices
• Students can participate at the same pace as peers
• Reduces delays and keeps conversation flow natural

Personalize TejuTalks for your child:

• Add family member names and relationships
• Include favorite foods, snacks, and meals
• Add preferred activities, toys, and games
• Set up daily routines and common phrases

This helps TejuTalks generate more relevant and meaningful answer choices for your child.

The goal is for your child to use TejuTalks independently:

• Start by pointing to correct answers if needed
• Gradually fade hand-over-hand support
• Celebrate small successes and progress
• Practice during daily routines (meals, playtime, etc.)
• Be patient - learning takes time

Integrate TejuTalks into daily life:

• Meal times: Ask "What snack do you want?" and have them type or select
• Playtime: Let them choose which toy or game to play next
• Reading: Ask questions about characters or story events
• Routines: Use for transitions and daily activities

Practice feels less like a lesson and more like real-life communication when embedded naturally.
