We could also use an iTouch. The apps run on either, but the iTouch doesn't have 3G. Yes, the app could also announce the maneuvers thru a headset to the judge; but whose voice to use?? Hmmmmmm. . . .<br><br>Someone would have to figure out how to use the WiFi to download the scores since the iTouch doesn't have 3G. . . peer-to-peer WiFi setup with the scorekeepers laptop?<br>
<br>. . .or another, probably more manageable solution would be to use the USB cable on the iTouch or iPhone to download the scores. That may be an easier solution than trying to figure out how to get the app to talk over the internet or WiFi to the scorekeepers 'puter.<br>
<br> If we don't have guys that can write the app, I know there is a cottage industry of companies that write apps.

You could have it call maneuvers, wait for a score voice captured, then<br>
call next maneuver.<br>

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] iPhone app for scoring<br>
<br>
Has anyone thought about developing an app for use while judging? I<br>
was thinking something similar to the calculator app, but with<br>
additional buttons to scroll thru the maneuvers. The iPhone is small<br>
enough to hold in your line of sight as you punch in each maneuver<br>
score, and the scores could be forwarded with either the 3G, WiFi, or<br>
bluetooth.<br>
<br>
Obviously some issues would be having enough iPhone's show up at a<br>
contest, keeping them charged thru the day, and managing the data flow<br>
to the scorekeeper.<br>
<br>
Could the scores be sent back to the NSRCA web site from each<br>
iPhone and then the scorekeeper just access a web page for the<br>
results? Can the web site host the scoring software in this manner?<br>
<br>
Of course. . .<br>
