Voice Broadcast App for Translation
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2015 12:58 am
Hello LDS Tech Team,
a couple of days ago I had an idea to a problem that I was trying to solve for a long time. I will describe the problem first follew by my idea and the advantages
The problem:
We are a fairly international ward and therefore have the need of a translation on Sundays or other occasions like Institut. We had one of the translation suitcases with microphone and ear pieces but that is now highjacked from the Stake.
The idea:
My idea is it use an app to broadcast the translation made by an human via WiFi to all the users of the app.
The advantages:
1) The biggest advantage is that the costs for the very expensive translation equipment are gone. The members will use their own smartphones.
2) The infrastructure for the translation is all ready in the place with the churches WiFi or a self created hotspot.
3) The batteries of the receivers would not need to be recharged or reequipped with batteries.
Note:
A Bluetooth network would not be sufficient as it allows only up to seven devices being connected to a master device.
What is your opinion on such an app?
I am not sure if a standalone app would be the best solution or if it can or should be integrated in one of the existing apps.
Greetings Mathias
