Phone, voice and notifications

#On your phone

Open synonode.com on your phone while one of your computers runs Synonode Runner. Everything works there: the chat, the preview, the settings. On a phone the preview and the chat take turns on the screen, and the steps of a turn open as a sheet from the bottom.

On a phone or a tablet, a file opens to read: it scrolls with your finger and a tap never brings up the keyboard. Tap Edit to change it, at the same place in the file, then tap the text where you want to type; Done goes back to reading. In a diff, tap the text where you want to type and the keyboard opens.

#Add it to your home screen

• iPhone: in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
• Android: in Chrome, open the menu, then Add to Home screen or Install app.

It then opens full screen, like an app.

#Voice

• Dictate: tap the microphone in the message box, speak, and it's typed. Turn the button off with Microphone in the message box in Settings → General.
• Read aloud: under a reply, Read aloud reads it to you. Choose the voice, its speed and language under Voice in Settings → General.

#Notifications

Turn on Tell me when Synonode is done or needs me in Settings → General. On that device, while the page isn't in front of you, you're told when a reply is ready, a question is waiting, or a permission is needed, in the project you have open and in the others you left working. Tap the notification to go straight to the project it came from.

#Keep working while it works

Start something big, then close the laptop lid or put the phone down: the work runs on your computer, not in the page. Open Synonode anywhere and you're back where it is, with everything it did since. Send the next idea while it works, or queue it for afterwards.
