ANDROID GUYS!

Ok. Here's the deal the Speech recognition APIs on Android fundamentally suck once you start listening, if something isn't heard in a very short (under 4 seconds) time the speech recognizer shuts down without letting me know it did that and I have to jump through hoops to try to figure out how to wake it up. I'm also struggling with how to get it to listen to the right microphone depending on the device, what's plugged in, etc.

Sooo. I have the basic calling working, voice synthesis is great, hit a next button, etc. but no one wants to mess with hitting a "next" button, but speech recognition like I have for the iPhone looks like a longer road what would you think about having next/repeat based on TILT of the device? You could strap it to the back of your TX and tilt the TX to the right or up/down to get the next maneuver and tilt the other way to repeat the current maneuver...
