I do recall at one time during the Friday session, somebody asked to see ex=
amples of the different types of proverbs, and somebody suggested looking t=
hem up in boQwI'.

Qov has a point about people being more likely to just ask someone in conve=
rsation, but apps are more convenient than, for example, TKD, because all t=
he 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.

Subject: [Tlhingan-hol] qep'a'vaD lI''a' {boQwI'}?
1. I'm curious: out of the participants at the qep'a', how many people have
Android phones and are using {boQwI'}? Presumably, people at the qep'a' are
using a variety of electronic devices to look up Klingon words. How does
{boQwI'} compare to other apps? Are there any features it's missing?
2. Does anyone find the TTS (text-to-speech) useful? It will take me
literally hundreds of hours to completely record all of the necessary audio=
,
so I'm wondering if it's actually worth doing. It's the most frequently
requested feature for the app, and the audio is actually complete for
everything listed in the "Useful Phrases" section (and if it isn't, that's
easy to fix).
Right now, the "speak" button appears on every entry, but I can for example
restrict it to entries which are sentences, or whatever much smaller subset
of all possible Klingon sounds.
