For help with specific features or actions take a look at our scenario slides!
At it simplest level Gibberin(TM) records a message on one device for
playback on another. But that's not very interesting on its own.
So we added some features that start with that simple idea and make it
useful.
When you first launch Gibberin(TM) you will need to sign in to your
account. You can create a new account if you need to.
Once signed in Gibberin(TM) will synchronize contacts and gibbers from
the Gibberin(TM) service to your device. If you are brand new we will
help you create some contacts, and you can always address gibbers to an
email address or SMS phone number.
Creating a message is easy. Since this is our primary purpose
we optimize the process. Simply tap a contact in your list then
tap the microphone button and speak your message. If you're in a
hurry just tap the send button when you are done speaking. We will
take care of ending the recording and adding a subject to your gibber.
If you prefer to type your own title, or perhaps add more recipients
just tap the stop recording button (same as the microphone button) and
make your changes. You can address multiple recipients by typing
their gibberin username, email or SMS number on the To: line.
Separate each recipient with a space, comma or semi-colon so we know
where they begin and end.
When you send your gibber we will save a copy on your device right
away, then upload it to our service as soon as possible. If you
don't have a network connection for some reason don't worry, we will
hold on to the gibber until one is available and deliver it then.
When you receive a message Gibberin(TM) will notify you. You can
find the new message in your collection. Navigate to your
collection by tapping the button in the bottom right of the contact
list.
Tap any message in the list to listen to it. Delete messages by
swiping across them with your finger or open them and tap the trash icon.
Here's a tip, you can force Gibberin(TM) to synchronize with the service by
shaking the device while on the collection page.
As you listen to a gibber you may want to pause the playback and record
a response. Just tap the blue arrow at the end of the timeline, we will pause the playback
and open a recording page. Your response will be linked to that
point in the original gibber for future reference. You can include
others on the To: line of your response to bring them into the
conversation. You can also edit the subject line if you wish.
Note that Gibberin(TM) automatically adds a 'dot' to the beginning of the
subject to indicate this is a response. You can use the number of
dots in a subject line to gauge the previous activity in a conversation.
If you don't recognize the account which sent you the gibber tap the
account icon to get details.
If the gibber you are listening to is a response to an earlier gibber
the blue triangle above the account icon will light up. Tap it to
open the original gibber or continue walking up the tree to hear
previous contributions to the conversation.
That covers the basics. If you have further questions or suggestions please
let us know!.
