Speedify’s Audio Tracking Lets You Align a Starlink Dish Without Watching the Screen
Aiming a Starlink dish usually means one hand on the Starlink dish and your eyes on a phone screen that’s hard to read outdoors. Speedify’s Alignment Wizard is a Starlink alignment tool that uses sound instead: it beeps faster as your Starlink dish gets closer to its target direction, so you don’t need to look at a screen.
Speedify is an app that uses all of your internet connections at the same time, including one or more Starlink dishes. Below: how aiming a Starlink dish by ear works in Speedify, and when it helps most.
Monitor your Starlink dish performance inside Speedify.
Starlink Internet Connection Drops Happen to Everyone
Speedify measures thousands of Starlink users in more than 140 countries. In September 2026, fixed Starlink dishes went offline for about 38 minutes a day on average, and Starlink dishes on RVs and boats for about 46 minutes a day.
All Starlink dishes also see short dropouts roughly every 15 seconds as the Starlink internet connection switches from one moving satellite to the next. Even a perfectly installed Starlink dish goes offline, and about 7 in 10 Starlink users on Speedify use Starlink together with a second internet connection, like 4G/5G cellular.
How to Aim a Starlink Dish by Ear with Speedify’s Alignment Wizard
Open the Starlink Control Center in Speedify, then select any Starlink dish on its Dish Orientation card (the panel that shows which way each Starlink dish points) to open the Alignment Wizard for that Starlink dish. Then:
- Speedify works out the target direction for the Starlink dish you picked.
- As you turn the Starlink dish by hand, Speedify measures how far its current direction is from the target.
- The beeps get faster as that gap closes, and turn into a steady fast tone when the Starlink dish reaches the target.
Your hands stay on the Starlink dish and your eyes stay on the mount, not on a screen you can’t reach.
When Aiming a Starlink Dish by Ear Helps Most
Sound helps most where Starlink dishes usually go: on a roof, on a pole, on top of a boat, or anywhere the screen is out of sight while your hands are busy. It also makes it quicker to aim two Starlink dishes at different parts of the sky, because you can turn each one to the direction Speedify picked without climbing down to check. Starlink’s advice on giving each Starlink dish a clear view of the sky sets the goal, and the beeps help you reach it.
Why a Well-Aimed Starlink Dish Gives You Steadier Internet with Speedify
A good aim gives your Starlink dish a clearer view of the sky, and less blocking its view means fewer short drops. With two Starlink dishes, it also lets each one face a different part of the sky. Speedify uses the Starlink dishes together as one internet connection and sends your traffic over both at the same time. If something blocks one, Speedify switches your traffic to the other automatically.
With a single Starlink dish, the Alignment Wizard still helps you aim it, but Speedify needs a second internet connection, like 4G/5G cellular or another Starlink dish, to add speed or keep you online through drops.
Who Gets the Most from Aiming a Starlink Dish by Ear
- People mounting a Starlink dish on a roof or a pole. No more squinting at a phone propped on a ladder.
- Boat crews. Aiming a Starlink dish mounted high on a boat is easier by ear than by eye.
- Anyone aiming two Starlink dishes apart. The beeps make the second Starlink dish quick to set without checking the screen every few seconds.
Aim Your Starlink Dish Fast, Then Use It Together with a Second Internet Connection
Aiming by ear gets each Starlink dish to its target direction with your eyes on the Starlink dish. Speedify then uses your well-aimed Starlink dishes, or Starlink and 4G/5G cellular, together as one faster, more reliable internet connection.
