StarterMaster Android App - Talks You Through 200 Series Starter Bar Placement Set-Out.
StarterMaster is an Android App that Calculates and speaks 200 Series Starter Bar Placements while you mark them out.
Enter Panels and Openings, separated by a space. eg: for a wall with a 2800 panel, then an 1800 opening, then a 3200 panel, enter '2800 1800 3200'.
All panels and openings must be multiples of 200, and the list must end with a panel. (an odd number of entries). Tap 'Demo' to pre-fill with random examples and see how it works.
Tap the 'Spacing' dropdown and select max starter bar centres. Hit 'Calculate' to create the running starter bar placement map and enable the control buttons ready to mark out the bars.
Tap 'Next' to step through the running measurements.
Hit 'Auto Speak' and it will speak the measurements at set intervals. You can increase or decrease the delay with 'Delay +' and 'Delay - ' buttons.
The delay is longer for larger openings, giving you time to move to the other side of the opening.
Put the phone in your top pocket and tap the big 'Next' button through your shirt, leaving both hands free to mark out.
Tap 'Voice Input' and say Next, Repeat, Back or Stop to have the app speak the results to you,
or scroll down to a screen sized Next button that's easy to tap (even in your top pocket).

Then on the device, tap Downloads (or File Manager), then StarterMaster.apk in the download list, and hit 'Install'.
When ready to accept a spoken command, the app will say 'Go'. You say Next, and after the app speaks the measurement there is a delay to allow you to mark it out,
before the app says 'Go' again, ready for the next voice command. If the delay is too long, say Faster.
This has the same effect as saying Next, but the time delay is shortened by 1 second.
You can also say Wait to delay the next voice request (Go) for 1 minute.
 If you put your phone in your top pocket, and tap the big 'Next' button through your shirt,
position the 'Lock Scroll' checkbox to top of screen and check it to stop the screen scrolling, moving the button from view.
If your Android does not already have Text to Speech installed, the app will direct you to the Android App Market to install the free plugin.
While testing this app, it became apparent that walking along marking out with a tape and marker, by your self, while constantly saying 'Next', 'Repeat' or 'Back'
can draw the attention of onlookers. Be prepared to explain what you are doing to people who may think you are crazy.
