Thanks Ed.? Good that someone else has given Speech Radio a tryas I did yesterday.


I have a Synapptic adapted Samsung phone so I installed Speech Radio from the Play Store easily enough.? It works, but beyond getting it to play some BBC streams I did not experiment further. That was hit and mis, and it did not at first recognize my asking for BBC 6 music.? When I did get stations to play stopping them did not seem always to work.? As I recall when the app did find 6 music it came up with other suggestions but no way could I find a way of navigating these, either on the screen which I could see with its static large logo or swiping around the screen or generally exploring it either.


It saddens me to say BWBF have not had an impressive record so far with their apps.? When they and others in the charity world decided to go it alone with their Alexa skill for talking newspapers it had a less than impressive start, and even now they still are having to deal with bugs.? In contrast the skill previously used by our TN and some others from Jonathan Horniblow did seem to work well, and we had negotiated quite a good price with him for that service and were sorry to lose it.


iPhone users might report back here, I hope with their experiences.


I end by wondering just where speech Radio's feeds are coming from.? Could this app too go silent after the dropping of the BBC's Shoutcast feeds?


I would like to see a straight basic campaign for BBC Sounds to update Sounds to include a one button presses interface for their national and local radio streams that may or may not be built on by access tech providers enabling an easy hardware interface to mirror this.
