Beta 2 of VoiceTurn 2 available for testing. Thanks to those who provided feedback.
In this version, I included a "watch-dog" that will take care of restarting the recording engine if it's stopped by a low-heap situation.
A couple of buttons allow you to minimize the application to a smaller window or to the blinking star.

The Southern Ontario Newton Users Group has scheduled a new meeting for the next weekend. More details:

A new program for you to test, VoiceTurn2. Before Voice Command, there was VoiceTurn, this application let you turn book pages in the newton without using the power switch or having to tap the screen. Now it recognizes 1-4 taps and will let you choose which action these taps will trigger. I release a testing app that will work like this:
1 tap.....page down
2 taps...page up
3 taps...backlight toggle
4 taps...launch/close notepad
In the next few days i'll add the preferences panel that will allow you to define the actions, a way to minimize the application, etc... If you have an idea to improve it, now it's the time!
Yo can download it here:
