Hi,

To avoid possibilities of threshold being incorrectly set by newbies, or other reasons, it would be handy to be able to automatically choose a setting.

This could be done by recording a typical background environment for the user, and recording some typical speech of the user in that environment.

The loudness and frequency changes could then be detected and optimum settings automatically made by the software.

It might be possible to have an allowance for "system indecision", where the user can confirm whether they wish to talk by pressing a talk button, or do not wish to talk (by pressing a "do not wish to talk" button) - which will help the software finer tune decisions in future.

It might be handy to be able to save settings for different users and environments.

It might be possible to have different environments automatically detected, so the best saved decision set can be chosen (just by asking who? without need to ask where?).
It may even be possible recognise the user's voice, but this is "way out there" in future.

A reminder function that reminds the talker to "please speak louder", could help when the software detects that that the certainty of the desire to speak is beginning to fall off (into the uncertain zone).

A please speak louder, or more clearly message button would be handy so that listeners can just let the talker know, without having to audibly interrupt them, chewing up bandwidth, time, and maybe creating confused conversation.

This information feedback could also be used for optimizing communications settings (based on receivers choice along with the senders choice), and also help to predictively automate a reminder to the speaker, before the listener feels driven to do it manually.
This is good for old people, mutters and mumblers, bad connections, detecting microphone problems, and etc.

Yours
Alasdair
