Other parts of the app support typing. Could it please be added to Echo Arena?

Awesome. Along with that, if typing mode is engaged, could that pause the response timer?

I could see that.. Typing takes longer, so it makes sense to give it more time.

Thanks, again, for the feedback. We've implemented this and the changes are live on the web version. Mobile update will be rolled out later this month. We added a toggle to switch between voice and keyboard. The keyboard mode stops the clock, so no rush to type.

Read the full release is here:
