Touch&Listen

This is an assistive, adaptable online radio streaming application, designed in conjunction with a number of professional OTs and SLTs. It was created as part of the four "Touch&___" Apps, posted under this name.
In essence, the app provides a simplified interface for a basic streaming radio, which the user can redesign for their own needs.

Features

The app allows a healthcare professional, or the user themselves, to create numerous accounts, with specific settings for the app, which will be saved between uses.

Settings which can be changed include the ability to add new mp3 radio streams and to select from a number of default options. New streaming urls can be found in many locations online.

The app also allows the user to add and remove control buttons for the next and previous stations, pausing and playing the stream and volume controls.

The user can also resize these buttons.

Finally, the app provides for a number of different interaction mechanisms. The user can select to use the app with an assistive switch device, to simply press the buttons as they are present on the screen, to make use of multiple taps anywhere on screen (eg: tap twice to activate the second button), to hold one's touch for a duration specific to each button or to hold one's touch to cause the focus to cycle between buttons.

It is also possible to change the timing options for these various mechanisms.

Please Note:

This application does required an internet connection to function

Also to note is that this App was primarily designed for use with tablet devices, although it should function on other mobile devices

At present, the app can only be guaranteed to work with .mp3 streams. Also, it should be mentioned that the quality and availability of these streams may vary.

Although switch accessible, to date, it has only been possible to test this with a single switch system.
