Voiceturn III

Suggested Modifications to VoiceTurn II

• Have the square in the Voiceturn II dialog act as a pause/start listening button.
• Pause/start would reset the listening from scratch, resetting any listening problems (e.g. occasional "deafness")
• Have the square in the voiceturn II dialog show something indicating the number of taps or action determined.
• When minimised have an up/down arrow or other indicator briefly show near the star indicating the number of taps or action
• Four taps could toggle the overview rather than Notes
• Have the longest number of taps bring the dialog to the front with the listening on pause
• When an action is interpreted, have it reset the backlight sleep timer and thereby let the Newton know that the machine is still under active use (used in conjunction with the previous suggestion)
• When it first interprets a sound, it notices which application is foremost and only works within that application.
• Have an option for the voiceturn window to sit over the button bar, rather than on screen where it obscures the material under view
• The voiceturn window should have an option for having large up/down arrow & smaller overview./indicator buttons. These would all fill the button bar area where necessary. See suggestions for Bar Basher
• Add undo
• Display the page number of Newton books or Paperbacks
