Mama Counter

Audio Bingo

Audio Bingo is the second mode in Mama Counter: classic buzzword bingo that does the listening and ticking-off for you. You decide which words should come up – the app listens along and marks the cells automatically as they're recognized.

How to play

  1. Enter 16 words into the 4×4 grid – or tap the dice icon to fill a theme at random.
  2. Tap the record button. The input fields turn into the live board.
  3. Let people talk: each recognized word marks its cell. The live text below shows what was heard.
  4. As soon as a full row, column or diagonal is complete, the app calls out “Bingo!” and highlights the winning line.

The six themes

Stuck for words? The app fills the grid from a theme with random terms – a fresh card every time:

The word lists can be updated online, so fresh terms can be added for topical occasions (a big tournament, say) without an app update.

Tips for good words

Use words of at least five letters and spell them the way they're spoken – that's when the app recognizes them most reliably. Very short words or unusual abbreviations work less well. Small differences (singular/plural, minor spelling) are forgiven.

Game ideas

Audio Bingo fits many moments: as secret meeting bingo with classic buzzwords, as a family-evening game with words that are bound to come up, while watching football together, or on the long drive to your holiday. There are no limits – you pick the words.
