A little context before you press play.
Haptics require a compatible iPhone. Start with a built-in demo and Test Haptic to check how it feels on your device.
Analyze complete local audio or video files and replay saved results offline. Live Sound uses the microphone with permission. Compatible direct audio and video URLs can drive haptics while playing and need a network connection. HLS supports playback only, without real-time haptic analysis; protected music-service streams are not supported.
TactiBeat is not a medical device and does not replace hearing aids, cochlear implants, clinical care, or professional advice.
Questions before you press play
Can I try TactiBeat without downloading a track?
Yes. Four CC0 demo tracks are bundled with the app. Open a demo, tap Analyze and play its generated haptics on a compatible iPhone. The demo audio does not need a separate download.
Which audio sources support haptics?
Analyze complete local audio or video files and replay saved results offline. Live Sound uses the microphone with permission. Compatible direct audio and video URLs can drive haptics while playing and need a network connection. HLS supports playback only, without real-time haptic analysis; protected music-service streams are not supported.
Why do I hear audio but feel no vibration?
Haptic output requires an iPhone with supported haptic hardware. Use Test Haptic to check output. In Live Sound, allow microphone access, move closer to the sound and adjust sensitivity if the input is too quiet. iPad layouts do not imply equivalent vibration hardware. The effect varies with the device, material and settings.
Does TactiBeat capture audio inside other apps?
No. Live Sound listens to nearby sound through the microphone; it is not system-audio capture. Use your own files or a compatible direct media URL for playback inside TactiBeat.
Do new settings change my saved haptic results?
No. Saved analyses retain their own settings. Open Settings from an analysis, Live Sound or stream page to change defaults. For an existing file result, choose Regenerate and save the reviewed settings to generate a new analysis.
Can vibration reproduce melody or improve hearing?
Phone vibration cannot faithfully preserve pitch, lyrics or timbre. TactiBeat focuses on timing, pulse and rhythmic feel. It is not a medical device and does not replace hearing aids, cochlear implants, clinical care or professional advice.
