HOW IT WORKS Event organizers play a short audio signal — a Signtone — through their PA system or speakers. When you tap the Listen button in the app, Signtone identifies the audio signal (similar to how music-recognition apps identify songs) and registers you for the event with one tap. Works with conference PA systems, laptop speakers, Bluetooth speakers, and even broadcast radio.
