Steve I am from the South West so a West Country accent. I think that the Canuck has taken his revenge out on everyone as he is not American nor British
Seriously though all Canuck jokes aside, I installed this program a few days ago, and my result's was better than yours by the sounds of it.
I am still on a trial version and I have been looking for other programs such as this, and dare I say it to pirate the software.
I went to a lot of review sites, and googled home automation, came across open source programs, downloaded and I could not even run the program.
My microphone is a £1.00 mic from Poundland which is sat on the floor rather than on my head, it is a boom mic kind of thing.
This software works 90% perfect for me and is getting better every time I use it.
I have not used it for home automation so I cannot say the results on that, but for XBMC or to launch other programs such as I have got HyperSpin which loads when I say emulator, HyperSpin, Retro, Shall We Play A Game.
I am semi technical, but my brain is dead now due to age, but I find that Voxcommando is inside my old skool programmer language.
Technically I could afford to buy this today, but I have other bills at the moment and stuff in cash converters that I need to get out. Otherwise I would pay the money for it.
Make sure that you have installed on XBMC and clicked the right tabs, make sure your mic is loud enough.
I will find the other option that you need which if you reduce the word match then it works better. I have had a couple of beers but this is still working excellent.
I shall do a video soon but as it has gone 4am too tired and drunk to do so now.
I have worked for some of the biggest companies in the UK for sales Summerfield's, Threshers, Spar etc etc and I was a top sales person.
My sales view was not to follow what I was told, but if I could not sell something to my Nan then I would not sell it.
My Nan god bless her soul would love this and I would not sell it to her, but I would give it to her for free. I would buy it for her.
This really is amazing.
This is my channel on YouTube
