Idea for an inventor
 

Someone can take this idea and make their first million. I want to buy the first prototype.
i want a voice activated module on my sewing machine, computer, printer, I'm sure there are other applications. When I yell, "STOP, STOP, STOP!" I want instant POWER OFF!
Anyone equipped to make this?

Do they still sell clappers?

send your idea to the creators of "Utter" (vocal commands for cell phones) & maybe you'll be the millionaire :)

Yep Rodney, they still advertise clappers. ha.

Nuance Communications is probably the leader in voice activated technology...

My only trouble is I usually yell "No, No, No" while attempting to stop whatever I have done wrong!

I tried really hard to convince my grandchild who majored in engineering to invent a sewing machine bobbin that did not run out all the time. He had to do a year end project and chose instead something to do with a skill saw. I told him that who ever invented one would be an instant millionaire. I for one would have been first in line to buy a new machine. He just laughed and said no. Can you believe it!

In a way I have instant stopping - not power off - because I use my foot pedal and just lift up my foot and the sewing machine stops.

If only he could have figured out a way for thread to pull from one end of the spool for the needle and then from the other end to run to the bobbin, so when the thread ran out it would be all at one time...

How about space where the bobbin goes to insert a spool of thread.
