### 2/5 — Unreliable confusing interface

*2021-02-12, version 1.0*

Does red “start voice recognition” mean press to use?  Why red?  Why no reset command - after a run, “stop listening” will make the app disappear like a crash, but no you can bring it forward again. Apparently that is “reset”.  I thought I had the hang of this simple interface so I timed a short run. I had to start twice because the first time “go” didn’t register. But when I zipped across the finish line and called Stop, it just kept running. I yelled stop louder and louder, but after five times I pushed some buttons and that stopped it. All I wanted was this: Start app. Say Go. Say stop. (Read). Say Reset.  Close when finished. I’ll try again if there is a simplification update.

### 4/5 — Not bad but does seem to crash occasionally

*2023-07-11, version 1.0*

I’m using this for physical therapy where I need to get into a position and hold it for X seconds. These positions often require both hands so a voice controlled stopwatch is ideal. The app works most of the time but occasionally stops recognition without me touching any buttons. And once I do hit a buttons to try to restart recognition it crashes. Since this is just exercise in is not a big problem.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly for me

*2020-09-30, version 1.0*

I am a scientist. I need both hands to perform a task which typically lasts several seconds, and I need to record the accurate time (by 0.1 sec) consumed. This simple app is what I’ve been looking for. With it, I don’t need my colleague’s help any more. Thank you.

One suggestion. I prefer the word “now” as the command for STOP. The current choices cause a delayed stop by about 0.2 seconds.
