Voice control is interesting

[Fozzy Bear]

I upgraded to Pro and bought a very nice Logitech wireless headset and love it. I have found some quirks which probably have more to do with my accent and speech than anything, e.g with points, Left is easy but I have to raise my voice for Right to the point it sounds like a military order. Absolutely cracked my daughter up when I showed her.

Noise is a problem in my little train room. After running 4 trains, the mike has difficulty picking up commands (it's very echoey in there) Is that even a word?. My TTS engines have to be with no sound, but it doesn't matter as the VC is great fun.

Naming of trains was another thing. It doesn't like certain words. "Blue" has a high fail rate as well as others. I have noticed in Youtube vids, most people call them Loco1, Loco 2 etc. I thought the Phonetic alphabet would work so I called them Alpha, Beta etc. The more distinct the word, the easier it picks it up with background sound though some engine don't even need a voice control name as it reads from the loco name as well.

Apparently some commands don't work. "Stop you stupid engine" has been proven not to work on several occasions. I would highly recommend this upgrade
