[NSRCA-discussion] PatternScoring App (Electronic scribe) is now LIVE on the iOS app store!

[Peter Vogel]

After 2 very successful trouble-free runs at the SAM contest 2 weeks ago
and the Cajun NATS last week.  Last Monday I finally decided it was time to
submit the app formally to the app store rather than relying on development
loads to individual iPod touches or TestFlight 30-day conk beta loads for
my friends in Australia who have been experimenting with the app.  As more
districts reach out to me with orders for fully configured setups I wanted
to make sure I had a path to get software updates out to devices in a
timely manner.

So I'm pleased to announce that as of today the PatternScoring app for iOS
is live on the App Store as a free app!

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/patternscoring/id1018433564?mt=8

If you've never used the scribe app before, feel free to download and, with
a good internet connection, use the "demo contest" mode to play with it.
Naturally the intent is to use it with a game controller, but the buttons
on the screen with the picture of the game controller do work to give you a
flavor for how things work.

If you are using it on iOS 8, you will notice that the voice is a little
bit fast.  That's because iOS 9 changed the pace of the voice synthesizer
and I submitted the version to work best with the latest iOS (9).

I've also completed a complete Bill of Materials for the contest scoring
system, including two handy rolling cases with custom-cut foam for
everything needed (except the laptop) to run a contest, I sell these at my
cost of $2500, fully configured to run a contest out of the box (i.e.: I'm
not trying to make money on this).  D8 just bought one, and D7 has bought
two. If any other districts have an interest in getting one or more sets,
please contact me directly and we can make appropriate arrangements.
Please make sure you have one or more people in the district who are
willing and able to take on the running of scoring at a contest using the
system.  I'm making continuous refinements to the system to make it easier
for anyone to run scoring, but it does require a certain level of comfort
and familiarity with technology in general.

Thanks!
