# How Cuespeak works

In Cuespeak, all **exercises** are grouped into **sessions**. A session is a **collection of exercises** organised into a **sequence** that will **run automatically** when the **play button** on the home screen is **pressed**. The exercises will run exactly as they’ve been configured.

Cuespeak comes with a **library** of **ready-made exercises** to get you started quickly. Every person with aphasia's **needs** are **different** so you will **create your own session** and easily add the **exercises** you need.

The **buttons** on the **home screen** are:

1. [Play Current Session](https://cuespeak.com/docs/starting-your-session/) - Tap the **Play button** to run your therapy programme. This button displays the **name** of the currently selected session, any **notes** associated with the session and an option to **share** your session if session sharing is enabled
2. [My Sessions](https://cuespeak.com/docs/my-sessions/) - Tap this button to **view** all your sessions. You can **switch** to a different session, **edit** sessions, **create** new sessions and **browse** the session **library**
3. [View Session](https://cuespeak.com/docs/view-session-sequence/) - Tap this button to view or edit your **currently selected** session
4. [App Menu](https://cuespeak.com/docs/app-menu/) - Tap this button to open the **main menu**
5. User Guide - Tap this button to open this User Guide in a web browser. This button will **not** appear when the Global Setting 'Used in Hospital / Clinic environment' is turned **off**. This is to help prevent people with aphasia accidentally navigating away from the app.
