Very cool. Now everyone wants a speaker in every room. Lol.

Anyhow, searching for "Sonos Voice" brought it up right away and for $1.39 canadian I thought I give it a try and it works great. After I select a speaker and tap on "Start" it does take a few seconds, but after that it transmits my voice perfectly clearly and with maybe a quarter or half second delay, not much but just noticeable. It's pretty cool. Take care, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Krister Ekstrom Sent: Friday, March 18, 2016 11:05 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Sonos Instructions I’ve got one of those public address app thingymabobs on my iPhone. It’s called Sonos voice and it’s quite accessible. There in that app, you can choose what player you want to use for your voice message. I don’t know though if you can shout through all players at once. The app is quite accessible, only thing is that you don’t know when you are online and can talk but otherwise it’s quite fun and accessible. /Krister > 18 mars 2016 kl. 16:50 skrev Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca>: > > An idea regarding your last statement: You can even pause all presently > playing units, great to shout that dinner is ready etc." > Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a microphone button inside the Sonos app > and you could use it to speak through one, several or all Sonos players, sort > of like a public address system?
