This is a cute and fun desktop toy, but the noise the electronics make when the dog talks can make it a little hard to understand what it’s saying sometimes. The speaker could definitely be better. And sometimes it will repeat the same thing, or it will go for a long time without saying anything.
Right now it just said something cute: “I hate testing on animals. I always get nervous and forget the answers.” Very cute. Some of the other things it says are just plain odd. Here’s another one: “You drink light beer; I drink out of the toilet. To each their own.” Okay… Oh, here’s another good one: “If one of those websites puts a cookie on your computer, how about sharing it with me?” And… it just repeated it. Wish it knew what it had just said, so it wouldn’t repeat itself five minutes later.
All in all, I’m glad I bought it. It’s worth the [...] I paid for it here on Amazon. It was easy to set up. It does require a battery, which is a shame. (It’s already connected to your computer via USB, so it could charge that way.) And it does take up a USB port. It doesn’t seem to take up a lot of memory, which is good. I like it. I just don’t love it as much as I would have liked, and that’s why it gets four stars from me.

Does NOT work with current Windows version 7 and when I purchased, was not stated on the website. Item is useless and can not be used at all, it is only compatable with older computers.
Dont buy unless you are NEVER going to buy another new computer again in your life. Item is useless junk without older version of Windows.

I have no idea if this if a fun toy or not as it doesn’t work under Win7.
I got the following response from WowWee when I asked.
Unfortunately the Chatterbot was discontinued before the software was update to support windows 7.
