How do you get the SwiftKey voice commands to work?

I'm probably doing something wrong, but I just was an article on the home page here about how great the voice search is in the SwiftKey keyboard, so I downloaded it. Whenever I hit the voice search button (icon of a microphone) on the keypad, it takes me to the SwiftKey settings page.

Just give it a short tap. A long press gives you settings.

Short tap, long press, the only thing that it ever does is bring up my settings page. I think that I either have some setting that I can't figure out disabling the voice search, or it's a Froyo only feature.

I've discovered that the voice part of the keyboard does work if you're in a browser or doing the text part of an email or a text. But it doesn't work if your trying to use voice search for a contact (either in contact search or for adding the To: field of an email/text). Guess that's just the way it functions.
