Voice to text software is just too inaccurate and there are times when you just have to tweet that you've slammed your thumb in a door and broken a heel whilst standing in line holding a shopping basket.
There might be more practical applications too.
Dits and Dahs customisable.

Of course, the Brits invented it.

Could you translate it to pig-latin? UnBay [+] |

Digital Morse! What next? |

This could make scatting relevant again. |

I thought you'd need three sounds: one for a dit (.), one for a dah (-) and another for gaps between characters and words. So three doo's for a short gap between letters and seven for a long gap between words, if you were to conform to Morse standards. But come to think of it, one doo would do for a short gap and two doo's would do for a long gap. |

They would be customisable though, so you could choose three sounds easily distinguishable by voice recognition software. Tum, Tiddledy and Doo would do too. |

You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right. |

Important new standards (such as this one) should always reference established practice. |

Didn't The Police do this around 30 years ago?

This would be the perfect UI for an Arduino LilyPad <see link>. |
