Voice Amplification
Wearing a full-face snorkel mask may inhibit the user’s ability to communicate by muffling the user’s voice. We have noted this phenomenon and have developed an app that may help alleviate the issue. The app will take the audio feed from a Bluetooth device with a microphone (such as AirPods or the like) placed inside the mask and replay it on the phone’s speakers outside the mask.
Android
We have tested the Android version on several phones, and it works fine on some while others experience issues. (This is due to different device manufacturers handling audio routing differently). We are working on compiling a list of verified devices, but in the meantime, you’re free to download the app from the Google Play Store and try it out.
iPhone
Currently iOS does not allow using two audio devices at once. We are actively addressing this issue with insiders at Apple, and we hope to have a working version on the App Store soon.
Feedback
If you would like to use this app but are currently unable to do so, please let us know so we have a sense of the demand. If you have an Android device, please include the make and model of your device.
