[NSRCA-discussion] Android "caller"

[Peter Vogel]

My iPhone scoring app reads the maneuvers to you and moves to next or
previous with a swipe of the screen, but I think to be truly useful as a
virtual caller it needs a way for you to SAY next or previous -- I'll look
at that after I get done with a little project for Mark A.

Mark, in case you are wondering, I have the DB hosted in the cloud now, I'm
just working on the web front end, taxes came first :-)
