Listen to the Game: Play-by-Play Narration Has Arrived
There was a time when families gathered around a radio to follow the game. Starting this week, they can again — except this broadcast is about your child's game, and only your family can hear it.
Every play your family's scorekeeper records can now be heard as a narrated broadcast — live during the game, or any time after.
Not every grandparent wants to squint at a scoreboard widget. Some are driving. Some are cooking dinner three time zones away. Some just love the feeling of a ballgame told out loud. Now, when a parent keeps score in SocialScoreKeeper, the app turns those plays into a flowing, spoken play-by-play that any Fan Club member can listen to.
How It Works for Your Family
A parent keeps score, like always
Nothing new to learn. The scorekeeper taps plays into the scoreboard exactly as before.
The app writes the story of the game
Each play becomes a narrated line in a live timeline — not a wall of stats, but a story unfolding: the count, the momentum, the moment.
Family taps "Listen Live"
Anyone in the Fan Club can hear the game narrated aloud as it happens — or tap any entry in the timeline and listen from that moment forward.
Built for Real Life
A Voice for Every Sport
Baseball sounds like baseball. Volleyball sounds like volleyball. Each sport gets its own announcer voice and style, so the broadcast feels right for the game being played.
Lock Screen & Background Play
Listen while you drive, cook, or walk the dog. The broadcast keeps playing in the background with full lock-screen controls — play, pause, and skip.
Pick Up Where You Left Off
Missed the third inning because dinner was ready? The app remembers your spot. Resume the broadcast right where you stopped — even days later.
A Proper Pre-Game Welcome
Tune in and the broadcast greets you the way a real one would — setting the scene for the game ahead, right down to the weather at the field when conditions are available.
Why We Built This
The scoreboard tells you what happened. A broadcast tells you how it felt. That difference matters most for the family members who can't be in the stands:
Grandparents
Who grew up with the game on the radio and want it told to them, not texted at them
Parents on the Road
Who can't watch a stream while driving, but can listen to every play
Low-Vision Family Members
For whom a spoken broadcast isn't a nicety — it's the way in
The Whole Family, Later
Because every broadcast is saved with the game — listen to the championship again next winter
Private, Like Everything Else Here
The broadcast follows the same rule as every photo, video, and score in SocialScoreKeeper: it belongs to your Fan Club, and only your Fan Club. It isn't public, isn't searchable, and isn't a podcast for strangers. It's your family's game, told aloud, for the people who love your child.
Give Grandma a Front-Row Seat — for Her Ears
At your next game, keep score like always — then tell your Fan Club to tap "Listen Live."
