Soundscape uses Location Services to determine your locationwhere you are. In our tests, Soundscape does not consume any more battery than the average map application; but if you are concerned about your phone's battery consumption, the following are a few tips which will help lower usage:

1. Turn the screen display off as much as possible when you are not interacting with the app.
2. When not using the app, close it down. Soundscape uses location services continually when it is running so that it always knows your location, even when you are not moving. Don’t forget to restart the app when you resume your journey.
3. In cold weather, keep your phone warm as batteries perform more poorly in colder temperatures.

As with all foureach of the four buttons at the bottom of the home screen, hold your phone with the screen flat (facing towards the sky) and the top of the phone pointing in the direction you are facing before you press the <em>"Ahead of Me"</em> button. This acts like a compass telling the app which direction you are facing. Simply, tap the <em>"Ahead of Me"</em> button and you will hear several points of interest all roughly ahead of you.

Soundscape allows you to customize three key aspects of the callouts you hear as you are walking:

1. Voice: You can choose which of the available voices on iOS you would like Soundscape to use, as well as the speed at which callouts are spoken. From the Menu, select "Settings" and then from "General Settings" select Voice to adjust the Speaking Rate and Voice settings. Additional voices, including enhanced quality voices, can be downloaded in the iOS Settings app at Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices.
2. Distance Metric: Soundscape allows you to hear all distances in either feet or meters. From the Menu, select "Settings" and then from "General Settings" select "Language & Region". The Units of Measure section allows you to toggle between two options: Imperial (feet) and Metric (meters).
3. Markers: You can mark your world with anything you care about. You can mark things that are personal and relevant to you like your home, your office and your preferred grocery store. Then Soundscape will automatically call out marked places as you walk by or approach them, or you can also use the Nearby Markers button at the bottom of the home screen to hear a spatial callout of marked places around you. These markers will remain personal to you and will not be available to anyone else.

In addition to the above, the following VoiceOver settings can influence how Soundscape behaves:

1. VoiceOver Tips: When VoiceOver tips are turned ON, you will hear more information about all the buttons on the primary Soundscapemain screen. You can turn on VoiceOver tips by navigating to the iOS Settings app and going to Accessibility > VoiceOver > Verbosity, and turning the Speak Hints setting on.
2. Audio Ducking: Soundscape is designed to work with Audio Ducking turned OFF. When Audio Ducking is on, automatic callouts can be difficult to hear if VoiceOver is used simultaneously. We recommend turning Audio Ducking off to make it easier to hear all automatic callouts. Audio ducking can be turned off in VoiceOver settings or via the VoiceOver rotor.
3. Touch ID or Face ID to Unlock: Setting your phone to unlock using Touch ID or Face ID will make unlocking the phone fast and easy, and in turn, allow you to access the My Location, Around Me, and Ahead of Me buttons as quickly as possible when you are on the go. Set up Touch ID or Face ID unlocking in the iOS Settings app.
