Ah like the IPhone. Yeah the ducking thing can be a duel edged sword or as I 
like to say, a double bladed lightsaber. You're right it makes it easyer to 
hear the reader and it does come handy when something's a bit louder then your 
screen reader,and you have no Controll. But also you might miss something if 
you are listening to speach. Or you've missed an epic song if tweeting your 
favorite Internet DJ over it. I've had this happen. Thus why I don't listen to 
stuff much on the Phone if I'm gonna be tweeting.
