To add to the beep feature discussion in WM6 when you have lots of
contacts and start scrolling through them for a few seconds you get a
large letter appear on the screen which you then scroll through the
alphabet rather than the contacts. This allows you to jump to the
contact beginning with that letter very quickly.
With speech and this feature in Rockbox it would allow much more
efficient track/dir finding in Rockbox for both sighted and non sighted
users.
So have I understood your suggestion right, what you are suggesting is that
if a person is scrolling through a large list of files by holding down up or
down instead of moving through the list of files they get taken to a list of
the alphabet, from which they then select a given letter and once selected
are jumped to the start of the section in there list of files that begins
with that letter?
I hope my message is clear.
The question is though how would you deal with numbers and non alphabet
characters with such a feature? I think this feature would have to have some
kind of setting as well.
