Instructions for translators

Soundscape is a navigation/way finding app. Please ensure translations are accurate and the used terms match with the local environment. Many of our messages are intended to be spoken while the user is walking/driving, so keep announcements short and to the point.

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. Measuring 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 settings can influence Soundscape's behavior:

1. VoiceOver Tips: When VoiceOver tips are turned ON, you will hear more information about all the buttons on the main 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.

We've placed an audio beacon to your right. Listen where it is, and turn your head toward it…. Notice how you can do this even when your phone is in your pocket.

Soundscape provides several ways to control what you hear and when:

1. Immediately stop all audio: Double tap the screen with two fingers to immediately turn off all audio, including any callout that is currently playing and the beacon if it is on. Callouts will resume automatically when you approach the next intersection or point of interest, but the audible beacon will not. Select the "unmute beacon button" on the home screen to resume hearing the beacon.
2. Stop automatic callouts: When you are not traveling or have reached a destination, you probably will not need Soundscape to continue to notify you of things around you. Instead of exiting the app, you can put Soundscape in Snooze mode and it will wake up again when you leave, or you can put Soundscape in Sleep mode and it will stay off until you wake it up. Alternatively, you can select "Settings" from the menu and choose to turn all callouts off in the "Manage Callouts" section.
3. Stop the beacon: There are several scenarios for which you might set a destination, but not need the audible beacon on. For example, you may know exactly how to get to your destination, but you just want to get automatic updates about how far away you are. Or, you may know roughly how to get to your destination, and you only need the audio beacon when you're almost there. Whatever the case, you can choose when to hear the beacon by toggling the "mute beacon"/"unmute beacon" button on the home screen.

If there is a bus route you take regularly, set your pickup and exit stops as Markers. This way they will be saved so you can find them again easily, just go to " Markers & Routes" from the home screen and find them on the "Markers" page. You can then set a beacon on your exit stopthem and you will get periodic updates on how close you are to your exit stop. Note: you can turn off the rhythmic sound and you will still get distance updates along the way.
