With a new baseball year upon us, and for those who have fans who follow your live iscorecasts...
I wanted to call attention to a very unique option that comes with the iScore Central Viewer App (blue icon) premium subscription - "Radio Like" Audio Broadcast available for both phones and tablets -iOS and Android. In my opinion an under recognized feature, and one well worth the premium subscription fee for iScore Central Viewer for fans 'watching' your remote iScorecasts.
If you have never tried it, i highly recommend trying it. The Audio cast goes beyond simply telling you balls and strikes, and score. it converts the play-by-play you score and notes to a "radio like" voice broadcast . For example, a 6-3 out. becomes. ., "Bryce harper grounds out to shortstop elvis andrus on the throw to first basemen mike napoli" or say "mike trout hits a 3 run home run". The broadcast will also repeat personal comments you type in NOTES. like "wow diving catch" or "close play" "love the ump" etc . If you do pitch location it will convert that too, e.g. "ball outside" "strike high" .
Yes it requires download, and yes it requires a registration and $5 fee for 3 months, but If you have fans/friends/parents who would like a "radio like" broadcast, i think you and they will be impressed with how well It works.
I can personally attest to listening to a game while driving (safely- handsfree). i have parents who have listened on planes, trains and automobiles when games ran long and they had to leave town early. Pretty cool
If you have fans that may be interested, Tell them to go to their App store, and search for iScore Central Viewer - Download and subscribe to the premium service ! Then enable the audio feature. and search for your team, enable it as a favorite, and then on game day, they will have it under favorites or search for your team. and are good to go.

UPDATE: Version 1.5 for iOS addressed the below issues and changed the default audio settings to be acceptable starting at 50 rate and 50 pitch for both male and female voices on iOS. Android devices can download different voices from google play
PS. TIP = when enabling the Audio setting, use the Male voice and try pitch 75 and rate 70 to start. then adjust based on preference
@ Support - I wish you could set the default Audio setting pitch and rate to 75/70. the default rates are barely understandable. (also the female voice on iPhone is still not understandable). I also wish the initial download had an option to have Premium Enabled, Saving a payment and registration step. , I find it painfully slow to explain to folks how to download, then how to register and then how to pay and then how to enable the audio feature. (perhaps i have slow friends)
