About TouchTheSound APK
Table Of Contents
Description
TouchTheSound is an application for helping deaf people to understand and feel the sound through a smartphone. The aim of the application is to translate the audio captured by the microphone to visual and vibration cues. The application could be used also by educators to teach the sound features.The sound captured by the microphone is represented through an audiogram (blue columns), where the tone is given horizontally and the intensity vertically. A set of typical sounds are represented over the audiogram by pictures. The voice region is given by a green curve.
Touch over the audiogram in order to select the part that you want to translate to vibration. The user selection is represented by green columns. When the sound captured and the selected one intersect, the application will generate a proportional vibration.
When automatic mode is activated, the application approximates vibration levels according to the average noise. This mode could help to lip-read in noisy environments.
If you are not interested in a specific tone band and want to translate all the intensity captured to vibration, switch to the simplified sound meter representation using the mode button.
In some smartphones could be a feedback between the microphone and the vibrator (the vibration generates a sound that is captured by the microphone). In order to avoid that and for improving the user experience, plug an external microphone (usually all headphones for smartphones integrate a microphone).
TouchTheSound is developed by the Mobile Vision Research Laboratory of the University of Alicante, in collaboration with Neosistec.
This work is under research. Please, send your comments and suggestions to the project manager Juan M. Sáez jmsaez@dccia.ua.es

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
