Help
Sigo follows your voice. You read out loud and the text keeps pace with you. Pause, and it waits.
Read and record
Open a script and tap Read or Record. On the screen, tap the circle to start. It counts down 3 seconds and begins.
Pause and stop
While reading or recording, Pause and Stop are hidden. Tap the text and they appear. With voice they hide on their own after a few seconds.
What happens during the pause stays out of the video. While paused, the trash icon discards the take. The Android back gesture stops the take and saves it.
If the text gets ahead
If you skip a part, drag the text with your finger to where you are. Continue from there. Before starting, you can also drag to choose where it begins.
With your voice or fixed speed
Before you start, tap the chip that says With your voice and choose With your voice or Fixed speed. You can also change it in Settings. With your voice, the text follows what you say. With Fixed speed, it scrolls on its own, at the pace you choose.
The camera
In Record you can see yourself Behind the text, in a Frame, or with the camera Hidden. The frame can be dragged. Flip switches cameras. Quality and Stabilize are in the take Settings panel.
Gesture control
In the camera panel, turn on Gesture control. It only works with the front camera. The palm pauses or resumes. To resume, lower your hand and show it again: it counts down 3 seconds. While paused, the V ends the take.
Captions and filter
They are chosen in the viewer, when the take ends, before saving. Each take starts with no captions. Once saved, they cannot be added. What you see is what gets saved.
Save and share
Save puts it in the gallery, in the Sigo album. Save and share opens the share menu. Repeat records again. Delete asks for confirmation.
Your scripts
Tap + to create one. Paste text or open a .txt, .md or .docx file. In the editor, select text for bold, colors and highlight. What you write in brackets is a note: it shows, but it is not read. The language button -ES, EN or PT- is the language Sigo listens to you in. Tap it to pick another.
Delete and archive a script
Swipe the row, hold it, or use the editor menu. Deleting shows Undo. Archived scripts are in Archived.
Shortcuts
Hold the Sigo icon on your phone. New script with what was copied creates a script and pastes whatever is there. Record opens Record directly with the most recent script.
Settings
In Settings you change the letter size, typeface, width, colors, mirror and show time. From the home screen you also change the theme and the app language.
Offline
The voice for your language and the gestures download once. After that they work without internet. If there is no connection the first time, Sigo says so and offers to retry.
Your account and backup
With your Google account, Sigo backs up your scripts and you have them on all your devices. It’s optional: without an account, Sigo works the same.
To sign in, open Settings from the home screen and tap Continue with Google. To sign out, tap your account at the top of Settings and choose Sign out. Your scripts stay on the phone.
To delete it, tap your account and choose Delete account. Your account and the cloud backup are deleted; the scripts on the phone aren’t affected.
