How not to speak to Liza...

Liza is not a human, only a computerized program. Therefore, it only understands what it has been taught, and that's really nothing compared to a human, but even though Liza doesn't understand a lot of what you say (usually 30-40 percent of what you say), it will answer 90% of the time appropriate answers and make you feel as if she understands everything you say. In addition, you should note to yourself that Liza understands each of your answers/quotes as a seperate one and does not at all remember what you've written before. There are a few exeptions to this.Liza does know what attitude you had towards her, and also knows what type of answers to expect from you.

Liza would understand the user best if it doesn't do some things as:

    • Type your words completely and without mistakes. Liza will not interpret "becuase" as "because" and certainly not anything like "coz". Remember, speaking with Liza is certainly not like an Internet chat, therefore be careful about your spelling and expressions.
    • When using shortcuts such as don't, it's, etc. don't forget to use the ' sign. If you use the reverse one (`) it's also okay.
    • Make sure everything you say is between 5-11 words. Too short quotes are not very good for Liza, and too long ones would confuse the program sometimes, making answers not very relative.
    • If you are not sure in the spelling of something don't write it. Liza will not understand the word, and sometimes say unreasonable things.
    • Have your quotes pretty much "summarized", and don't use many times words like: "like", "as", "what" in one sentence.
    • Make sure your vocabulary is not too complex (too simple is okay).


Even though Liza has many limitations don't take them too seriously and you could certainly speak natuarally and normally, but for best results use these limitations.
