About ListenWIFI
With ListenWIFI, audio from the chapel sound system — and other rooms with sound systems — is streamed over the meetinghouse’s wireless network to an app downloaded to church members’ smartphones. They can access multiple audio streams anywhere Wi-Fi is available in the meetinghouse.
Benefits for Church Attendees
- Enables attendees to access interpretation or assistive listening on their smartphones with either wired headphones (recommended), neck loops (works with telecoil-enabled hearing aids or cochlear implants), or Bluetooth earbuds or hearing aids.
- Eliminates the need to borrow radio frequency (RF) devices from the meetinghouse library and reduces the stigma of needing to ask for special assistance.
- Since attendees can use their own smartphones instead of loaner devices, there are fewer issues with broken or lost equipment, drained batteries, or cleaning of the devices.
- In some meetinghouses, ListenWIFI enables attendees to move from the chapel to a classroom and find an audio stream.
Note: For assistive listening and/or interpretation to be available in other areas of the building (such as the Relief Society room, cultural hall, or Primary room), instructors/interpreters must use a microphone plugged into the appropriate input jack in the room. Not all meetinghouses are equipped with these microphone input jacks in rooms besides the chapel.
Handouts for Church Attendees
These 1-page handouts should be printed and distributed to Church attendees who wish to use the ListenWIFI app.
Printing in color would be ideal, but black-and-white prints will suffice.
