Ghost Radio Settings

Settings

Ghost Radio has a number of different settings, which are available on the Settings screen.

To open the Settings screen, use the button with a “cogwheel” icon, which is found in the lower part of the main radio screen. Please note that not all settings are available in all versions of the app.

• Current language -The different flags represent the different languages that the app supports. When you choose a language, the user interface as well as the ghost radio engine will switch to that language. By default, the app uses the language used on your device.
• Prevent Screensaver -Normally your device will fade the screen to save battery when not used for a while. This setting allows you to override that behavior and instead always keep the screen on while the app is running.
• Recording Limit -Limits the maximum time the app records. When recording and the time limit are passed, the app will automatically stop the recording. The limitation on recording time ensures that the app won’t crash due to memory consumption. If you encounter crash issues when recording, it can be an indication that you should try a lower Recording limit.
• Auto Recording -Means that the app doesn’t immediately start recording when you press the Recording button on the main screen. Instead of glowing red, the light below this button glows yellow to indicate that the app is in auto-recording mode. When the light is yellow, the app does not record, but is in standby to record: While in this mode the app will start recording automatically each time an entity is detected and then pause the recording when the signal is lost. Each time this happens, a new recording file will be saved, and all recordings from an Auto recording session are saved in a group folder. On the recording screen you can browse such folders by tapping them, much like browsing the file system on your device or a computer. When doing so, their contents are revealed, i.e., the individual recording files. You can use these files as normal, e.g., listen, delete or share them. Some users have reported problems to start the Auto recording while an entity is already present. To avoid this problem, please start the recording immediately when the radio is started. As described above, the app will still not record until something interesting is detected. The Recording Limit applies only to each recording moment, so in theory you could be able to record for hours and still only get files with interesting content. The files produced when using Auto Recording are saved in compressed M4A format or WAV format if you use Auto Recording together with the Legacy Recording feature.
• EMF -Enables or disables the Electromagnetic Force detection. This feature relies on your device having a Magnetometer sensor.
• Accelerometer/Motion -Used to enable the motion tracker. This feature relies on your device having an Accelerometer sensor.
• Theme -The app has various themes, which allow you to change the look’n’feel of the graphical user interface.
• UI Sounds -Allows you to enable or disable the sounds that are played when you’re using the user interface, e.g., button clicks.
• Entity Alert Sound -If this is enabled, each time an entity has been detected, the app will play a short sound signal. The number of signals indicates the strength of the presence, where one signal is the weakest.
• Entity Alert Vibrate -If this is enabled, each time an entity has been detected, the app will vibrate the device. Only works if your device has vibration capability.
• Entity Alert Flashlight -If this is enabled, each time an entity has been detected, the app will turn on the flashlight of your device. Only works if your device actually has a flashlight.
• Version Info -Shows the “What’s new” message that normally is shown only once when you start the app after an update.
• Test Voice -Uses this button to test the Ghost Radio engine.
• Support -Opens our support center web page in your standard web browser.
• Knowledge Base -Opens this Knowledge Base web page in your standard web browser.
• Feedback -Enables you to send us short feedback messages directly from within the app.
• Exit App -Turns off the app and exits.
• Recording Samplerate -Sets the recording quality and is by default set on the lowest quality, which is 8000Hz. This produces small recording files. You can change the samplerate up to 44,100 Hz, which produces large recording files, but in CD-quality.
• Speech -In some situations it may be appropriate to turn the Speech off. The radio will still work as normal but will not generate any speech. When the app has been fully calibrated, all identified words and phrases will still be shown on screen and logged to your Text Log.
• Speech To Text -Enables or disables the Speech to Text feature.
