RE: Re: Homeseer and voice

[Eamon O'Gorman <eamonogorman@xxxxxxx>]

I'm about 4 weeks away from installing my rolls mixers/ mics into my new
house, so it will be interesting to see how well they work. From playing
around with them so far in my current lodgings, the voice recognition is
actually very good (using homevoice), and there is a huge difference when
using a good quality mic. I can not only get 95% (roughly) accuracy from
anywhere in the room, but if I stand outside the door of the room, it still
works very well. And I haven't done a whole lot of training yet!!
