It does work, though it is supposed to recognize 40 words... as the number of words you add increases, it gets worse. I've still not been able to get it to recognize the word "six".

That would make it an interesting thing to experiment with, but I'd be careful about incorporating it into commercial designs. I've not tried voice direct yet, but I probably will John Hansen
