Why should anyone use VolumeTouch?

Every day millions of computer users go through a task similar to the following many times:

  1. Move mouse to speaker icon and double click.
  2. Sometimes the volume control opens instantly, sometimes you just have to wait.
  3. Drag volume adjuster to desired position.
  4. Close the volume control.
  5. Say: "What did you just say boss?"
  6. Talk to boss.
  7. Repeat steps 1-4.
  8. Wonder how long it will be until the boss shows up again in your office.

Listening to music while working on the computer should not place you in the middle of an incredibly stupid usability disaster. Use VolumeTouch instead!
