KLSlim,
It seems you are asking some basic questions which I haven't been concerned with in ages, I'll try to give the best answers I can but it's been ages since I dealt with these things. I'm going to mention the learning level which you find in options, a slider that can be adjusted from no learning to max. Hals name can not be mentioned in the sentence or she will not learn anything from that sentence. For learning from Wiki I just use the cut and paste method. Next is the timed response, as far as I know it will not input automatically unless the voice recognition is being used, check to see that is not the case, I use VR but keep the box unchecked to have time to look at my input before it is inputted.
