This is a demo of an proof-of-concept app called Call Collect -- an easy tool for creating a phone number where audience members can simply call in on their phone. It was developed at the May 2017 "Come + Play" Hackathon hosted by Audiosear.ch. Collecting audio samples from a wide group of people or directly from your audience is difficult, time-consuming, and costly. It’s difficult for smaller radio stations or indie podcast producers to find the resources to get all the outside audio they need for their shows. It’s also tough to get feedback from the audience on a story. So we built a tool to make it easy for listeners to submit their own audio based on questions or prompts from the host. What could Call Collect be used for? Crowdsource stories and ideas for future shows Gather audience reactions and feedback Create mash-ups of multiple characters/narrators Gather sound on a topic from multiple locations Actor voiceovers in your audio drama Pre-interviews and interviews Gather sound effects Presentation slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10Ih84mjeMmyx9lI7w2TgMm0J5ZwYIa_-5qSgvUFiQI4/edit?usp=sharing
