Follow the complete setup, create your profile, and see how to compose your first reply.

First-time setup

Set Up Moogoose

On first opening Moogoose, read and accept the Terms and Conditions to reach the Moogoose Setup screen. Complete the numbered steps in order. Finished steps show a tick.

  1. Enable Moogoose Keyboard

    Tap Enable Moogoose Keyboard. In Android keyboard settings, find Moogoose and switch it on. Android will show a standard keyboard warning. Tap OK to continue.

  2. Grant Microphone Access

    Tap Grant Microphone Access, then allow Moogoose to use your microphone. This is needed for Dictate, voice instructions, and Quick Profile Setup.

  3. Enable Conversation Reading

    This optional feature lets Moogoose understand the conversation visible on your screen and compose a relevant reply. Tap Enable Conversation Reading, then enable Moogoose Context Reader in Android Accessibility settings.

    If Android blocks this setting

    Open Settings → Apps → Moogoose, tap the three-dot menu, and choose Allow restricted settings. Then return to Accessibility settings and enable Moogoose Context Reader.

  4. Activate Moogoose Keyboard

    Tap Activate Moogoose Keyboard and select Moogoose from the keyboard picker. You can switch back to your usual keyboard at any time using the globe button.

  5. Create Your Profile

    Choose Quick Profile Setup for the easiest voice-guided setup, or Manual Profile Setup / Edit if you prefer to enter and review each field yourself. A profile is optional, but it helps Moogoose write replies that sound more like you.

Conversation Reading is optional. Moogoose still works without it for dictation and general writing help, but it will not automatically understand the conversation you are replying to.

Personalise your replies

Create or Edit Your Profile

Quick Profile Setup

Tap Quick Profile Setup, then tap the microphone and speak naturally. Moogoose will ask about you, how you communicate, and any personal or business information it should use when composing replies.

If you have a website, say its address aloud when asked. Moogoose can examine relevant public pages and ask you to confirm what it finds. You do not need to prepare perfect answers. Correct anything that is wrong and continue until Moogoose confirms that your profile has been created.

You can leave and resume Quick Profile Setup if you are interrupted. When setup is complete, review or change individual details in Manual Profile Setup / Edit.

Manual Profile Setup / Edit

Manual setup takes you through your profile one question at a time. You can add or edit your name, personal information, business, role, services, prices, working hours, policies, preferred tone, writing examples, and anything else Moogoose should know.

Type or paste an answer, or use Dictate on the Moogoose keyboard. Tap Next to save it, leave an optional answer empty to skip it, and tap Finish after the final question.

Return here whenever your information, prices, availability, policies, or communication preferences change.

Everyday use

Using Moogoose

  1. Open a conversation. Tap the message field and switch to the Moogoose keyboard if it is not already active.
  2. Choose the right voice tool. Use the microphone for exact dictation. Use the Moogoose button when you want help composing a complete reply.
  3. Speak your instruction. Tap Moogoose, say something such as “tell them Thursday afternoon is fine,” then tap again when you have finished.
  4. Review the draft. Moogoose places the reply in the message field. Listen with Read Aloud, read it, or edit it before sending.
  5. Refine when needed. Tap Moogoose again and say “make it shorter,” “more friendly,” or “translate it into Spanish.”
  6. Send it yourself. Use the messaging app's normal Send button. Moogoose never sends a message automatically.

Common problems

Troubleshooting

Moogoose is not in my keyboard list

Return to the Moogoose Setup screen and complete Enable Moogoose Keyboard. Then tap a text field, open the keyboard picker, and select Moogoose.

The microphone is not working

Open Android Settings → Apps → Moogoose → Permissions → Microphone and allow microphone access. Then return to the app and try again.

Moogoose cannot understand the conversation

Check that Moogoose Context Reader is enabled and that the eye control is set to read the current conversation. Bring the relevant messages onto the screen, then try your instruction again.
