Brain Age tip

corblimey

I found out something with the Brain Age word memory game. It was forever mistaking my k's as v's to the point of annoyance. But I found yesterday that if I emphasise my ascenders and descenders, it works fine. So I go practically to teh top of the space for k's, t', f's etc and practically to the bottom for p's, q's etc. Works like a charm and just thought I'd share for people have similar problems.

Thanks for that, it was rather annoying.
Now to try and remember more than 10 words............

I rarely have problems with the handwriting recognition in Brain Training - you guy can obviously not write

Oh I do, I end up trying to get a word in up to 10 times & then forget all the rest & run out of time..

Just wondering if anyone else has problems with the voice recognition of 'blue', my brain is always old (can't get below 40...) because of that, i try saying it in an American accent & everything!!!

Good tip on the writing, thanks!

Yeah, the voice recognition is a bit picky - I find the trick is to try not put on any accent in particular, but then again after living in several countries my accent is neutral as dirt. Also try to be as clear as possible (no need to shout or anything), try not to put any emphasis on any parts of the word and keep the same tone throughout the word.

But my best recommendation is just to choose "I can't speak"

Also, with regards to the handwriting, I've noticed recently if you accidentally just tap the screen it'll often pick them up as some number - usually 7 or 1, sometimes even 8. And I've often put in completely wrong numbers in the Calculation programs (like 63 instead of 54) and it'll say they're correct! Love it when that happens.
