Voice Scorekeeping: A GameChanger for Coaches and Parents
For the first time ever, basketball scorekeepers can collect stats as they happen using just their voice.
The latest version of the GameChanger app, the Official Scorekeeping, Stats, Team Management & Technology Partner of Prep Hoops, offers voice scorekeeping for basketball, so scorekeepers can keep their eyes on the court instead of buried in the scorebook.
Simply tap and hold the blue microphone button within scorekeeping mode and dictate each play as it happens by saying the play result and the jersey number of the player involved in the play. Some examples:
“Two points number 12”
“Three point miss number 11”
Multiple plays at once
You can score multiple plays in one input, such as:
“Two point miss number 3, rebound number 11” = 2PT FGA for #3 on your team and a rebound for #11 on your team
Scoring for the opponent
By default, the app will assign stats to your team. To track stats for the opponent, add the word “opponent” or “home”/”away” to the end of the play entry in order to assign to the opposing team. Examples:
“Three points number 33 opponent” = 3PT FG for #33 for the opponent team
Assigning stats at the team level
Don’t need to assign each play to a player? Leave out jersey numbers when entering a play to track stats on the team level, like in the below examples:
“Rebound” = a rebound for your team
“Two points opponent” = a two-point FG assigned to the opponent team
You can always go back and assign plays to a dictated play later.

Easy lineup management
The most recent addition to GameChanger helps you quickly track substitutions. By saying “substitution” or “sub”, a player will be added or removed from the game. Below are some examples.
If #10 is on the bench:
“Substitution number 10” = #10 is added to the court
If #15 is on the court:
“Sub number 15” = #15 will be removed from the game
