# Thumbs are difficult
they're at an angle from the rest of the fingers I suppose that's why they are called Opposing Thumbs.

# I've seen some online tutorials
I know I'm no great shakes as a modeller but the idea of doing fiddly details like fingers and such is off-putting rigging hands is also a pains from what I've read.

# I used to have a nice hand rigging script.
Which I obviously lost, because it was fucking useful and I'm not allowed to keep nice things.

# The big thing is it's supposed to understand plain spoken commands..
e.g. "where is the local train station?"
"what is the weather like?"
"where is the nearest library?"
"what's that smell from my underpants?"
That sort of thing.
But more than likely it will just phone someone you don't want to speak to like most voice command phones do.

# Android phones have voice recognition/dictation thingy
I tried mine out recently by trying to make a note through voice recognition. The note says,

"The link cable is the links TV or resource you understand the links"

You may make of that what you will.
