Toy factor is fine, but in the same vein as Gareth's earlier comment 
regarding out-of-the-box functionality, there's a line to be drawn - 
my own experiments suggest that error rates of 1 in 3 (2 out of 3 
commands correctly interpreted) would be about right for speech 
recognition in open space. For me, that crosses the line between 
reliability and irritability!
