Hans free stopwatch This app allows you to start/stop the stopwatch without using your hands. It is useful especially, you are using both hands and can't start/stop. This app is depending on Apple's speech recognition API and not suitable for .1 sec accuracy. However, you can get rough idea of time length. It will have a delay at start and end as well, so it will cancel out and will not be far apart. User can use commands as start, go, stop, end, finish. Use case example: Hand stand, cooking, maker stuff, etc...

Not bad but does seem to crash occasionally

Marl one
I’m using this for physical therapy where I need to get into a position and hold it for X seconds. These positions often require both hands so a voice controlled stopwatch is ideal. The app works most of the time but occasionally stops recognition without me touching any buttons. And once I do hit a buttons to try to restart recognition it crashes. Since this is just exercise in is not a big problem.

Unreliable confusing interface

Visually unusable
Does red “start voice recognition” mean press to use? Why red? Why no reset command - after a run, “stop listening” will make the app disappear like a crash, but no you can bring it forward again. Apparently that is “reset”. I thought I had the hang of this simple interface so I timed a short run. I had to start twice because the first time “go” didn’t register. But when I zipped across the finish line and called Stop, it just kept running. I yelled stop louder and louder, but after five times I pushed some buttons and that stopped it. All I wanted was this: Start app. Say Go. Say stop. (Read). Say Reset. Close when finished. I’ll try again if there is a simplification update.

Works perfectly for me

I am a scientist. I need both hands to perform a task which typically lasts several seconds, and I need to record the accurate time (by 0.1 sec) consumed. This simple app is what I’ve been looking for. With it, I don’t need my colleague’s help any more. Thank you.One suggestion. I prefer the word “now” as the command for STOP. The current choices cause a delayed stop by about 0.2 seconds.
