keyboard sniffing video question

[dninja at gmail.com (Robin Wood)]

I was actually meaning the opposite, they typed in 12 characters and
their system recognised exactly 12 characters before it left listening
mode and started processing, the second one it stopped listening after
8 characters. With interference it would have to be very precise to
know that it had hit exactly the right amount of characters it was
expecting and it looks like it can only listen or process, not both at
the same time. This may just be because it is a prototype  but
something just didn't quite ring true about it.
