Utility and office applications such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Reader…

Educational applications covering all school subjects.

*System applications are those that come pre-installed on Speechi interactive displays, such as Finder, the browser, Note, Visualizer, Bytello Share, etc.

2. Carefully selected applications (↑)

To be included in the Speechi Connect store, an application must meet three key criteria:

✔ Compatibility: The application must work smoothly on our displays, which is why each one is tested by our team beforehand.
✔ Ad-free: The application must be free from advertisements
✔ Mostly free: Most of the applications offered are free. However, we have chosen to include some subscription-based applications that are either popular or recognized for their high-quality content.

3. An educational store that grows over time (↑)

There are numerous digital tools developed by teachers for their peers, as well as applications created by companies under the guidance of national education authorities.

To ensure that all schools using Speechi interactive displays can discover and benefit from this vast selection of applications, we continuously expand the educational section of the store. Our selection process is primarily based on educational application directories curated by the teaching community.

How to add applications to your personal space? (↑)

To access your applications from any Speechi interactive display in your organization, everything happens within your Speechi Connect application, under the “Workspace” tab.

Once you have chosen your wallpaper, you can select the applications you want to appear in your workspace. Keep in mind that the displayed applications are those made available by your organization’s administrator. If you can’t find a specific app, you may need to negotiate with them 😉.

Once you have customized your workspace, simply log in to a Speechi interactive display to access your applications for classroom or meeting use.
