Title: Misreads Letters, Had to Jerry-rig
Product review: Bummer, this would be such a cool toy if only it read all the letters correctly. None of the small reader buttons are stuck or anything, which is the only troubleshooting tip from the website. The misreading seems to be due to the letters not fitting in snug enough to depress all the buttons for a correct read, so I've put scotch tape on the "roof" of the problem space to make the slot a tiny bit smaller. Now misreadings are less frequent/almost gone, but be careful to keep the tape near the outer edge so that the letters still push in. No, you should not have to do this to make the toy work properly.
