Qov has a point about people being more likely to just ask someone in
conversation, but apps are more convenient than, for example, TKD, because
all the words are in the same place. I certainly use apps for that purpose
when writing out a longer composition, and I am not a rank beginner. I do
not have boqwI' because I have an iPhone, but I have used it on other
people's phones and significantly prefer it. Please make it available on
iPhone.

1. I'm curious: out of the participants at the qep'a', how many=
people have<br>
Android phones and are using {boQwI'}? Presumably, people at the qep=
9;a' are<br>
using a variety of electronic devices to look up Klingon words. How does<br=

{boQwI'} compare to other apps? Are there any features it's missing=
?<br>
<br>
2. Does anyone find the TTS (text-to-speech) useful? It will take me<br>
literally hundreds of hours to completely record all of the necessary audio=
,<br>
so I'm wondering if it's actually worth doing. It's the most fr=
equently<br>
requested feature for the app, and the audio is actually complete for<br>
everything listed in the "Useful Phrases" section (and if it isn&=
#39;t, that's<br>
easy to fix).<br>
<br>
Right now, the "speak" button appears on every entry, but I can f=
or example<br>
restrict it to entries which are sentences, or whatever much smaller subset=
<br>
of all possible Klingon sounds.<br>
