The Digital Audio Capture (DAC) app is a free app developed by College Board and ETS to use for recording students’ audio responses for the AP Music Theory Exam and AP French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture Exams. This app has been developed to simplify the recording process for students and proctors, utilizing current technology that is intuitive to most students. It streamlines post-exam tasks for school staff by directly uploading student audio files after recording. School staff will follow the instructions in the 2025-26 AP Exam Instructions book to administer an exam using the DAC app. NOTE: The DAC app is limited for use on school-owned and -controlled iPad tablets (iOS 15.0 and above).

The Kiosk App is simple to configure and connect to your library. The features permitted are directly connected to the User Settings within the Accessit Library Management App, and these permissions can be updated at any point.

Once downloaded and configured, users will be able to scan their patron card (using the tablet camera) or type in their patron number, and scan the book/s they wish to check-out. The timer ensures the screen clears after a certain length of inactivity, to prevent patrons accidentally issuing books to the wrong person.
