In today's digital age, Assistive Technology has completely transformed the use of smartphones for the Visually Impaired community. If you are a visually impaired person and like to edit podcasts, voice notes, or any audio files, the Audio Editor section of the Tech Assistant for Blind app can prove to be a great tool to make your work easier.
Let's talk about one of the many smart features available in it - Stereo and Mono, which will take your audio editing experience to the next level!
What is Stereo and Mono Feature in Tech Assistant for Blind App? (What is this feature?)
When we listen to any audio, it mainly comes in two formats—Stereo (in which the left and right speakers or earphones can produce different sound effects) and Mono (in which the sound is exactly the same on both sides).
You get amazing options like Pan Balance, To Mono, and Swap L/R to adjust the audio channels:
- Pan Balance: With its help you can easily decide whether the sound should be heard more in the left earphone or the right one. Decrease Pan Balance and Increase Pan Balance options available under this work to change this balance of voice.
- To Mono: This feature converts any stereo audio track (which has different left and right sounds) into a completely single channel i.e. mono track.
- Swap L/R: This instantly transfers the left side audio to the right channel and the right side audio to the left channel.
The entire interface is 100% accessible with Screen Reader, so you can control audio professionally without any help.
Key Benefits of this feature
This smart audio feature makes the tech life and creativity of our Blind colleagues easier in several ways:
- Professional Podcast & Content Creation: If you run your own podcast or YouTube channel, you can pan the background music left/right and center your voice-over, making the audio sound professional.
- Single-Earphone Listening Facility: Many times, visually impaired people wear earphones in only one ear for safety while walking or crossing the road. In such a situation, by using To Mono feature, no detail of stereo audio is missed and the sound of both the ears is heard mixed in the same earphone.
- Perfect Sound Monitoring: With the help of Swap L/R and Pan Balance, you can check whether both the channels of your headphones are working properly without taking off or changing the earphones.
