wow, this is one of the coolest programs on OS X...i was having so much fun with it when i found out about it a couple of hours ago...

...until i realized how many times i needed to repeat something to get it right

i read on the OS X webpage that a main feature of it is that you don't have to train it, but i would like to.

also, i noticed you can say "Open a document"...but do you just say the name of the document after? and how do you teach it new tricks?

The closest you can get to "training" is to use the little volume-calibration assistant in Speech Preferences. Go to the Speech Recognition tab, and the Listening tab below that, and click the "Volume..." button in the lower right: you'll get a dialog with an audio-input meter, a dialog, a few phrases to speak, and instructions on how to calibrate your setup.

VoiceOver is the opposite of Speech Recognition, it just enables you to have dialog boxes etc spoken out loud. Better speech recognition would be very welcome.
