Hi all, Thank you for supporting vokul. I just read through this thread and have some answers to your questions.
(1) You can make vokul less verbose by setting "Extra Voice Prompts" to off in the settings menu. This will allow you to compose messages more quickly. (2) The volume problem should have been fixed in the current version. I've performed fairly extensive testing with VO and have not noticed any issues with the volume going to zero (although it did occasionally in the previous version). If you're experiencing an issue with volume, please email me at [email protected]. (3) You can run vokul in the background by enabling multitasking in the settings menu. vokul will continue listening for your commands while it's running in the background. (4) You don't need to mute VO to use vokul; however, you may get better results if you use the 3 finger double-tap to mute it temporarily. It's strictly a matter of preference. Also, you don't need to mute VO if you're using a headset. (5) You can set the "Excessive Speech Alert" to "off" in the settings to prevent the popup from appearing when using VO. (6) Here is a list of the available commands when composing a message: read message add recipient delete try again add more add subject send message cancel message You can always say "vokul what can I say" for a full list of commands. As always, please feel free to email me with questions at [email protected]. We'll be releasing another update soon to correct minor issues and would greatly appreciate your feedback in identifying any problems.
