    • Program Description
    Switch Accessible Boombox is a software program that allows a user to utilize a virtual stereo (boombox). The program allows you to play your favorite songs or video clips through this boombox. The buttons on the boombox are pressed using one switch with timed scanning, two switches with step scanning or directly pressing them with a touch window or mouse. Optionally, auditory scanning of the buttons can be turned on.

    In its simplest form, it can also be used as a very basic single switch Cause & Effect program. Pressing the switch will stop and start the music.

    This program has the added benefit of not only playing songs but movie clips as well. The song formats that the program can play are MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio), WAV (Wave Files) and MID (Midi Files). Valid movie formats are MPG, WMV and AVI.

    Optionally, speech synthesis (included with this program) will read the title of the song or movie clip before it is played. The buttons that appear on the screen (play, skip, raise volume..) can either be displayed as words or pictures. Buttons can be removed from the boombox in order to simplify the choices.
