WPI students help Audio Journal listeners connect with first phone app

Worcester Magazine A small team of Worcester Polytechnic Institute students, guided by their academic advisers and advice from the community, has developed the first iOS phone app for Audio Journal. It s got people talking, and listening. The Worcester-based nonprofit Audio Journal is a radio service for the blind, visually impaired, or individuals otherwise unable to read print or visual materials as well as people who may just like its programming. Wonderful, said Mary Frandsen, Audio Journal executive director, about the response to the app. When people who had been testing the new app for the Audio Journal were asked if they would use it again, 100 percent said yes. Access time to broadcasts using the app has been cut from five minutes to one minute. It is now available to anyone at no cost on Apple’s app store.
