Great.

So you have trained the Microsoft Speach and that part works ok at the OS level - correct?

The next step is to look at the My Voice settings in MP.

How it works is one voice command activates the listening.

I configured the response to say "i'm listening".

That way I know when it is activated. If it is not activated then it will not accept any mic inputs.

Then you can speak commands it will will listen - e.g. try saying "What is the time?" or something like that and it will respond. I think there is a date phrase too.

I also could control the menu and TV channels verbally.

Note that My Voice automatically stops listening after x seconds. I configured mine to say "i'm sleeping" when it de-activated.

It would be nice if it displayed an ear on the screen to show it is activated.

I now have a wireless headset so perhaps I will try My Voice again. If I can tolerate the 20 min Voice training.

It was pretty cool when it worked. But I found it just easier to use the remote. For me it is a cool toy.

The problem I had was that it would activate erronously when it heard ambient noises. Then it would run wild with the controls when it heard noises.

I tried making the activate phrase long but then it was nearly impossible for it to recognise the speach.

At that point I gave up figuring that a wireless mic would be required for optimal recognition.
