Hawksey Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Hi Neal An iOS and Android version is being planned but it will be some months away. It will need completely re-writing in a different programming language, tested, sent for approval by Apple/Google (and paid for) for it to be available in their stores, which unlike windows/mac is the only way to distribute apps/software. It will happen...it's just going to take awhile 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawksey Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 ...and for those that don't want/have a PC next to their layout (exhibition layouts?) I'm currently working on a small 60x60mm button operated 'player'. It's capable of playing upto 255 pre-recorded announcements/sounds selectable from an 8x8 button matrix and has a built in audio amp so you'll just need a speaker and 5v or 12v power. Announcements can be user generated using the new recording feature on the Announcement Generator software and saved onto microSD card or maybe supplied pre-programmed. No firm costs yet but probably going to be around £40 for the unit with a blank microSD Would there be any interest in this? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keys will work with the current version and the forthcoming BR version. Brilliant. Thanks Philip. I've just ordered the license key and a couple of custom files! Look forward to having a good play. Waaaay, down the line when I get the laptop that will be stationary in the shed sorted I'll give you a shout for help with the transfer!

Hawksey Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi all Some progress on iOS and android versions and a steam era version, but due to other work commitments it's very stop start and slow. Would expect mid year until able to release anything. The current windows versions (BR and 2k) are now on version 1.3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I upgrade to v1.3? Do I simply download the latest evaluation copy and use the existing registration code? Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawksey Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi Steve I've had to change the licencing ID since v1.0 so if you download and install the latest send me the new system code and I'll send you a new unlock code that will work with this version and any future updates 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class158 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Unsure whether the bit.ly link is supposed to still work, but it doesn't work for me anymore. Is it just me or has it happened to anyone else? Has the link been removed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morello Cherry Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) I wonder if there is some scope for regional accents? Would say Motherwell or Warmley have had announcements in RP? That said, at 5.55 in this there is an announcement (you have to listen quite hard) but it does sound quite RP. (For the 1950s) I was half hoping that the announcer would be full on Janner 'alright moi luvver, the train at platform 7...'
