Overview

What is It For?

This Android application allows operators to answer checklist questions using an Android device such as a phone or tablet.

Minimum System Requirements

The minimum Android SDK version that is supported by the app is 23. This roughly means that the app should be able to run on Android version 6.0 (Marshmallow) and above.

Operation

The app can be operated by touching the screen, as well as by talking to the app. Operating by speech allows the user to work hands-free.

Touch

The touch mode is always working and allows you tap on certain elements on the screen to perform actions.

There are a few places where specific ‘gestures’ provide different ways of interacting with the app. These gestures are explained in the documentation for the relevant screens.

Speech

The speech operation allows the user of the app to speak to control the app, rather than tapping on the screen.

Speech recognition mode must be enabled specifically by tapping on the microphone icon in the action bar (top of the app), in screens that are ‘speech enabled’. Once enabled, the speech recognition mode will remain active while the app is running, or until you disable it by tapping on the microphone icon again.

The effectiveness of speech operation depends on a number of factors, including the quality of the device’s audio input, background noise and the speaker’s accent.
Touch mode will still work when speech recognition is enabled.
When speech recognition is enabled, saying ‘help’ will bring up a dialog showing you the valid voice commands for that screen.
