This is a great idea in theory, but the product simply did not work correctly. Repeatedly raised and lowered my voice and spoke fron different distances but mostly to no avail. It was correct less than half of the time and we found ourselves wasting so much time trying to get it to recognize some simple things, such as steak, ham, cheese. What it would record when we said these things were sometimes hilarious (douche???). Maybe in a couple of years we'll try again. Or think of a way to use it as a party game.
