with the expensive mics I have used Homeseer, Homevoice and Microsoft's freebie, I have used the dragon engine but not with the pressure mic although I wasn't impressed (I may not have given it a chance, I was more than a bit peeved by then if my memory serves me) the only VR app I was impressed with was HAL and once again it was NOT reliably enough IMO to offer 24/7 VR for my family and thus found to be - not suitable. I may be asking too much from this generation of software, but saying that I am really impressed with the VR on my Nino WinCE PDA. so who knows??
 
The volume is more of a problem, the clarity when recorded using sound recorder is superb so much clearly than headset or free standing cheepo PC multimedia mics.

What voice recognition program are you using? Even with a headset I had terrible results with Homeseer & the Microsoft recognition engine but when I switched to a pre-trained Dragon engine things got much better. What kind of audio do you get out of the mics (volume, quality etc)?

are you talking the 100 quid a throw pressure zone or something like that microphones, if you are I have one along with the rolls compressor limiter gate, I do not find that voice recognition is useful for anything other than 'playing' with, amusing friends or the kids when certain untraind words set light on and off - like oranges.

Those of you who have played with voice control, what microphones have you used, has anyone tried the posh ceiling mounted ones and the limiter/gate unit?
