<!-- Soundscape frequently asked questions -->
<string name="faq_battery_impact_question">"How does Soundscape impact my phone’s battery?"</string>
<!-- Sleep - To put the app in an idle state for a period of time. Snooze - To put the app in an idle state that is interrupted by user movement. Soundscape - The app that explores the use of innovative audio-based technology to enable people, particularly those with blindness or low vision, to build a richer awareness of their surroundings, thus becoming more confident and empowered to get around by using 3D audio cues to enrich ambient awareness and provide a new way to relate to the environment. -->
<string name="faq_battery_impact_answer">Battery life varies significantly depending on which phone you own and how old it is. The biggest drain on your battery is having the screen on, so to maximize the battery life of your phone you should keep the screen locked whenever possible. To help minimize the impact on your phone battery Soundscape now has a Sleep Mode. To further reduce the amount of battery you use, when you aren’t using Soundscape, you should force close it via your phones App Switcher.</string>

<!-- Wayfinding - The process or activity of ascertaining one’s position and planning and following a route. 3D sound is where the audio through your headphones sounds as though it is coming from a given direction, as if it was actually coming from a speaker.

<string name="faq_difference_from_map_apps_answer">"Soundscape provides an ambient description of your surroundings in aid of exploration and way-finding. Using spatial audio, Soundscape will call out points of interest, parks, roads, and intersections from the direction they physically are in your immediate environment as you walk. For example, if you pass a shop on your right, you will hear the name of the shop sounding from your right. As you approach an intersection, you will hear each road name sounding from the direction it goes in, beginning to your left, ahead and to the right.\n\nInstead of turn-by-turn directions as often provided by other map applications, Soundscape will play an audible beacon in the direction of your destination, empowering you to make your way there on your terms using your increased awareness of your surroundings and the location of your destination. Soundscape is designed to run in the background, enabling you to use a turn-by-turn directions app, all the while continuing to provide environmental awareness as you make your way to your destination."</string>

<string name="faq_use_with_wayfinding_apps_answer">"Soundscape is designed as an awareness app to help fill in details about your environment that you may not be aware of otherwise. While it is not designed as a turn-by-turn navigation app, it can be used alongside such apps to provide complementary information. To use Soundscape with these apps, start your navigation app first. Then, move over to Soundscape and set a beacon on the same destination as in the navigation app. At this point, both apps will be running and you will hear walking directions from your navigation app, while getting updates on points of interest, intersections, and your distance to your destination from Soundscape."</string>

<string name="faq_controlling_what_you_hear_answer">"Soundscape provides several ways to control what you hear and when:\n\n1. Immediately stop all audio: Double tap the screen with two fingers to immediately turn off all audio, including any callout that is currently playing and the beacon if it is on. Callouts will resume automatically when you approach the next intersection or point of interest, but the audible beacon will not. Select the *\"unmute beacon button\"* on the main screen to resume hearing the beacon.\n\n2. Stop automatic callouts: When you are not traveling or have reached a destination, you probably will not need Soundscape to continue to notify you of things around you. Instead of exiting the app, you can put Soundscape in to Snooze mode and it will wake up again when you leave, or you can put Soundscape into Sleep mode and it will stay off until you choose to turn it back on. Alternatively, you can select *\"Settings\"* from the menu and choose to turn all callouts off in the *\"Manage Callouts\"* section.\n\n3. Stop the beacon: There are several scenarios for which you might set a destination, but not need the audible beacon on. For example, you may know exactly how to get to your destination but want to get automatic updates about how far away you are from your destination. Or, you may know roughly how to get to your destination, and only need the audio beacon as you near your destination. Whatever the case, you can choose when to hear the beacon by toggling the *\"mute beacon\"*/*\"unmute beacon\"* button on the main screen."</string>

Or, if you aren’t going to be using Soundscape, you can put it in either Sleep or Snooze Mode using the *\"Sleep\"* button on the home screen."</string>
