Send Text Screen

What is the Send Text screen?

The Send Text screen lets you display any text on your peek device.

  • An assistant can type a word, number, or phrase in the PeekSmith app and send it directly to the magicianโ€™s device.

  • A magician can use remotes (Atom, ATC, MATT+, Quantum, etc.) to enter text hands-free and forward it to a peek device, Teleport, or even other apps via the API.

This makes it a versatile tool for peeks, predictions, and seamless communication during performance.

How to use Send Text

  • Open the Send Text screen in the PeekSmith app.

  • Type the text into the input field, or use a connected remote to enter it.

  • Tap โ€œSendโ€ (or use the remoteโ€™s send method) โ€” the text appears on your peek device.

Supported input methods

Manual input (assistant)

  • Type any text directly into the on-screen field.

  • Tap โ€œSendโ€ to transmit it instantly.

Bluetooth remotes (magician)

You can enter and send text hands-free with:

  • Atom 2

  • Wilson Nexus

  • Thoughtcast Versa

  • ATC

  • MATT+

  • Quantum

ATC and MATT+

  • Press to enter a single number.

  • A very long press sends the number.

Quantum

  • Numeric buttons enter numbers.

  • Other buttons enter spaces.

  • Equal (=) sends the text.

๐Ÿ’ก Example: With Quantum, you can enter multiple lotto numbers and forward them to another app โ€“ a clean and natural way to handle number predictions.
Important notes

โš ๏ธ Bluetooth keyboard limitation
Keyboard-emulating remotes (like Nexus or Versa) only work if the Send Text screen is active and the input field is focused. This is a general limitation of mobile devices.

๐Ÿ’ก Atom, ATC, MATT+ and Quantum advanced integration
If these remotes are paired in the PeekSmith appโ€™s Settings, they can send numbers/text even when the screen is locked or the app is running in the background.

โŒจ๏ธ Send with Enter key
There is an optional toggle to send the typed text when you press Enter โ€“ useful for Bluetooth Keyboards.

Beyond peeking: advanced uses

The text you enter isnโ€™t just for display โ€“ it can also trigger powerful actions:

  • Send to Teleport, with three different presentation styles.

  • Forward to a Web API for custom integrations.

  • Use with apps like Inject, Bridge, or Glyphs.

  • Announce out loud with Text-to-Speech (TTS) (via the Audio Assistant add-on).
