Hello, @Shoniebear . . . I have moved your new topic to this thread for issues with EMO understanding and responding.
@adamdeane . . . has a great suggestion with increasing the sensitivity.
You can also read the posts above for training EMO to understand your voice better.
There is no way to input your birthday. Occasionally EMO will see you and ask what your birthday is at which time you listen for the tinkle sound and respond with month and date.
I hope this helps!
