What it is
For many of our learners, listening is the strongest way in. Audio makes sound the main event: touch, and hear something that matters.
Touch → hear something meaningful.
How it works

Add sounds
Record (Record → Stop → Listen → Save), upload audio, or use 38 built-in sounds: animals, people, home, vehicles, nature, funny sounds and effects.

Short sounds, whole stories, or a listening game.
Easy access
Four ways in, powered by iChoose4.
Next / Go
NEXT brings up another sound to hear. GO plays it.
Direct Touch
A few clearly separated sound choices. Touch the one you want.
Swipe + Touch
One sound at a time. Swipe to browse, touch to play.
Listening games
Same Sound
Hear a target sound, then respond when it plays again.
Find It
Hear a sound, then choose its name from 2 to 4 cards.
Which Sound?
'Which one is Kitty?' Touch a card to hear it, touch again to choose.
Right answers get a soft chime and 'Yes!' Wrong answers just get another try.
Ideas for real life
Familiar voices
Record family and friends, and let the learner choose whose voice to hear.
Recorded stories
A grandparent reading a favorite book.
Experience recordings
Sounds from a walk, the farm or a field trip, to hear again later.
Classroom sound hunt
Record the door, the sink, the bell, then play them as a game.
Sound to object
Hear a bell, then find the real bell.
Quiet listening
A story or nature sounds, with no task at all.
Inside look
Good for
Learners with CVI or visual impairment, learners who do best through listening, and learners building auditory attention and recognition. Also families who want to share familiar voices.
Tip:Start with 3 to 5 short, very different sounds. Listening can just be for fun.
