As a blind user what seems more sensible to me is that the only time I
would need the prompt is after I start the recording and then when I
pause a prompt would be nice and the delay would not matter then and I
guess I could do without the prompt for the next recording so I would
get the full 30 seconds of prerecord time -- how about that?
