Even though this report is from England, i have experienced the same problem with my Brain Age game, when i say Blue, it sometimes cannot understand, so i end up shouting, its very aggravating.
I also have trouble with certain letters (a, y, h mostly) being understood in writing sections of various games, but i thought that was just my handwriting...

Those guardian of consumer culture, the BBC's Watchdog team, has been standing up for our rights once again. This time, we're being protected from Dr Kawashima's Brain Training and its alleged inability to recognise UK regional accents.
Tragically, Manchester-based Michelle Livesey got a DS for Christmas but found, once she hit a part of Brain Training that uses the DS's microphone, the game could not recognise her lilting Mancunian accent. "I'm saying blue! Blue! Blue! And it's saying no, even though it was blue", she said.
The BBC report then stated, "Michelle was amazed to discover how many of her colleagues who'd bought a Nintendo DS, were having exactly the same problem".
The report continued, "And it wasn't just work colleagues who were struggling, it was their children too. Children like Laura Dickenson, who said, "You get annoyed so you just start shouting at it, but it doesn't make it any better".
