Story Creator Tips & Tricks

Follow these tips to have the best story creation time possible!

  • If you are having issues with recording your child's voice try following these helpful tips. 

    Microphone Placement

    Be careful not to cover the microphone at the bottom center of the unit when you record.

    Apply Even Pressure While to Start Recording

    Apply even pressure with finger while recording and ensure that you hear a beep, signifying that recording has begun in that location. If insufficient pressure is applied your recording at that location will be cut off prematurely.

    Reapply Pressure if Recording Stops

    If insufficient pressure is applied while recording, then reapplied, you will hear the beep sound again. The stored recording will only capture your voice after the second beep.

    Be Aware of Hand and Wrist Placement While Recording

    While recording, do not rest your wrist or other hand on the surface as this may cause the unit to stop recording.

     

     

  • Marker Storage

    Store markers in wells on the right or left of the art surface.

    Battery Removal for Storage

    Remove batteries if storing for an extended period. Battery removal will not affect recorded story content.

  • Total Recording Time Limit

    Total recording time is about 15 minutes. If time is used up a warning sound will play when you try to record. You must erase some or all your recordings or recorded pages before recording.

    Page Numbering

    For stories with more than one page be sure to number each page of your story to remember the proper order.
