My personal feeling are with a good UK engine you may stand a chance but while the majority of engines are US based forget it..
 
Sorry

Hmmm. So it sounds like most of the problems with voice recognition are more to do with the software than hardware failings.
 
Thanks.

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?
