You  asked:- "ok - I've installed HomeSeer. I have a server in my

Therefore the letsautomate link is very appropriate.

If  you are after voice recognition using open air microphones then this is
it and
even after spending 300 quid it's not going to be that fantastic. If you
are after
voice recognition using telephones then use Homeseer Phone and the Phone
Switch.
If you are after voice recognition when sat at your computer then get a
cheap mic.
