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 magician’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 “Send” (or use the remote’s send method) — the text appears on your peek device.
Supported input methods
Manual input (assistant)
- Type any text directly into the on-screen field.
- Tap “Send” 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.
💡 Example: With Quantum, you can enter multiple lotto numbers and forward them to another app – a clean and natural way to handle number predictions.
Important notes
⚠️ 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.
💡 Atom, ATC, MATT+ and Quantum advanced integration
If these remotes are paired in the PeekSmith app’s Settings, they can send numbers/text even when the screen is locked or the app is running in the background.
⌨️ Send with Enter key
There is an optional toggle to send the typed text when you press Enter – useful for Bluetooth Keyboards.
Beyond peeking: advanced uses
The text you enter isn’t just for display – 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).
