Screenshot of Cephable onboarding in the app - "Add a Profile" page

If you've already completed Cephable's onboarding, maybe you started learning about profiles in the app and even added a profile to your account. 

Remember - a profile is a summary of how you tell Cephable how to pair different inputs and outputs. Some examples include: say "click" to press the mouse, raise your eyebrows to hit enter, or tilt your head to move slides in PowerPoint. 

If you haven't completed onboarding yet, we suggest reviewing that step by step guide before learning about profiles.

If you have completed onboarding and want to begin from the Cephable dashboard, you can find new profiles to add to your account by clicking "Explore Profiles"

The Explore Profiles page allows you to add prebuilt profile templates, use the AI profile generator/wizard, or build profiles from scratch. For this guide, we will practice with two of the community profile templates on this page. Slide Deck Presentation & Keyboard Navigation Basics. Let's add them to our user account.

Scroll to find the name of a profile you would like to add. Under Slide Deck Presentation click "Add a Profile"

Now that you are back on the Cephable dashboard, click inside the drop down menu in the center of the page to switch between profiles in your user account.

Click on the profile name you'd like to select as your "Current Profile" from the drop down list. Click on "Slide Deck Presentation" for this example.

Now, click "View Profile" to see details about how this profile is set up.

Profiles can be as simple or as complex as you wish. This profile only has 2 controls for "next slide" and "previous slide". Click on "Next Slide" to see additional details.

This command, Next Slide, has voice controls, head movements, and virtual buttons inside. Notice the icons of voice, buttons, and a head with arrows to signal the type of command. All of these commands like, saying "next slide" or tilting your head right will all tell Cephable to tap the right arrow key which will advance a slide forward in Powerpoint or Google Slides.

Now, click the back arrow at the top of the app to return to the dashboard.

Now, switch to the Keyboard Navigation Basics profile from the drop down menu.

In this profile, there are many more controls inside. For example, say "enter" to press enter, say "back" to press shift+tab, or say "next" to press tab.

Click on "next (tab)" and then "edit" to see how to customize this control for yourself.

A new text box will appear. Click inside.

Type "go" or another word you'd like to use for pressing "tab"

In this guide we will learn how profiles work and how to set them up in the ways that work best for you. Profiles are the way you tell Cephable how to use your preferred inputs (voice controls, face expressions, head movements, virtual buttons) and map them to what you would otherwise press with your keyboard and/or mouse. Profiles can range from simple to complex setups.
