Sounds interesting
I will have to check that out when I get home and can do so.
Ditto for Me
I just received a tweet about this from my brother. These sound very good, and when I have more time I'll definitely check them out as well.
I'll have to look at it
It looks good. I'll have to look at it. I do have a question. It looks to me, like I should be able to click on a video URL. (like something on Youtube) or somehow upload the video and play it, and get an audio disscription if I play it within the app. Am I correct in that assumption? And if so, how do I get the video on the app to play it for Ad.? Forgive me if this seems like a dumb question.
The app does not play videos.
The macOS app streams any input audio source to the iOS app.
Clarification please

Just to clarify, the consumer enters a venue such as a playhouse, movie theatre, art museum, etc and access live will provide audio description of the play, image, or movie etc once connected to a wifi network? Sounds interesting. thanks very much.
