Well @Jason Carr, whatever you have done to the voice recognition has worked for me!! I have finally been able to activate it and mess around with it a bit this morning, it does seem to not understand me a bit, but I'm sure that's just my dictation and crappy microphone I'm testing it with rather than the voice recognition itself, so kudos Jason.
However I do have a few issues.
1. when I get a low confidence box popup it hangs the program for about 10-15 seconds and I can't use the program during that time.
2.The exit game voice command doesn't seem to work for me, it understands what I'm saying as I get the exiting game, and what's next bible adventures dialog, but the game continues to run.
3.And this one could be related, my controller automation is also having problems, I hold down "back" and press "start" to exit my games which has always worked fine, but now it often does nothing at all and I have to keep repeating the command over and over for 10 seconds or so then it eventually exits.
So thanks for all your hard work trying to get this feature working for me, we are so close now!
