I use to just play around with it, but shortcut keys are alot faster, I just used the voice commands to show off to friends.
I would say that it would be a good idea to turn the escape button thing off so you don't have to hold it down when you talk, give it something to say and then it will listen... default is computer.

I never got mine working quite right. Have you tried "Tell Me A Joke" yet? I think it says the lamest Knock Knock jokes I've ever heard. of course I usually have to try 5x to get it to recognize what I'm saying, so often my friends will laugh at me as I say "Who's there" and then slowly repeat it, getting louder andmorefrustrated every time...
