It records what you say and stores it.

We can programme the Boss to say something like "I don’ t want problems, I want solutions".
我们可以编程使"大老板"说类似"我不管问题,只要解决方案"的话。
And we do that like this: you press his nose and that activates the voice card.
我们是这样做的:你按一下它的鼻子,这样就激活了声卡。
Then you say the phrase.
然后你说个短语。
"I don’ t want problems, I want solutions"
"我不管问题,只要解决方案"
Then you press the nose again.
然后你再按一下鼻子。
PHIL WATSON: Why do you do that?
菲尔.沃森:为什么要这样做?
DEREK JONES: You do that in order to stop the recording.

Then you select your trigger word.

DEREK JONES: The trigger word makes the Boss speak.
德里克.琼斯:触发字可以使"大老板"开口说话。
Every time he hears that word,
它每次听到这个词,
he will say "I don’ t want problems, I want solutions."
就会说"我不管问题,只要解决方案"。
PHIL WATSON: So, let me clarify this:
菲尔.沃森:让我来澄清这点:
each time the Boss hears the trigger word, he’ ll repeat the phrase.
每次"大老板"听到触发字,就会重复这个短语。
DEREK JONES: Exactly.
德里克.琼斯:正确。
So give him the trigger.
那就给它个触发字吧。
PHIL WATSON: Okay ummm ...The trigger can be the word "problems".
菲尔.沃森:好的, 嗯 ……触发字就用"问题"这个字吧。
DEREK JONES: Fine. Say it in his ear, then.
