Audio integration for testing
Posted: Fri May 20, 2022 4:57 pm
Hello everyone!
I would like to get your opinions and ideas for integrating audio into the APD test software. Adding the audio files for individual tests directly as embedded files in the software would be difficult because of licensing issues. We would first have to negotiate agreements with the authorized providers for the test audio, which would also likely limit the scope of use for those audio files.
An alternate way would be to allow users to set the location of audio files for each test under the Settings menu. For example, to run the SSW test, you can select the corresponding audio file that you have in a folder, i.e. C:\Users\Username\Documents\APD Testing Audio Files \SSW Test Audio.mp3 (or something like that). Users can then play the test audio using Play/Pause/Stop buttons on the test screen. (please see attached schematic of how it is supposed to look like).
Looking forward to hearing your opinions and suggestions.
Regards
Dinesh
