How to Position Your Device for Best Results

Where you place your device makes a big difference in how well SayScore picks up your voice.

Back of the court

Device placement at the back of the court

This position is recommended for noisy environments because it's closer to the players and reduces the impact of background noise. The device can hear you well from 6 feet away.

Side of the court, next to the net

Device placement at the side of the court

The device is about 23 feet (7 meters) away from the players. We recommend wearing AirPods or similar to make sure the device can clearly hear your voice. In a quiet environment (e.g., a single court with no other activity), you may get away without AirPods.

Consider the following microphone options:

AirPods
Lavalier microphone
Bluetooth headset
Built-in microphone: Works OK in quiet environments

Strap to your arm

Device placement on arm

If you are comfortable wearing a strap on your arm, this is a great option.
