Voice recognition is crap on all devices

Dynamic Sausage · Jun 5, 2014

I sometimes find Kinect to be hit and miss but it definitely needs to be calibrated to get any decent results at all. As for other recognition devices, most are useless but Siri has always been flawless for me, definitely the best and most responsive system
out there.

I've never been a fan of voice recognition until I tried it on the Xbox One. Voice commands on the Xbox One work very well for me and even if I whisper it listens to me. The only command I struggle with is party chat, but I'm
guessing the issue is the way I pronounce it because every other command works perfectly.

All i am trying to do is "Xbox On" it never happens and it is calibrated.

I know the worst problem with the original Kinect for me wasn't getting it to recognize commands. It was getting it to stop doing random stuff when I was talking to someone else in the room. I eventually turned it off since I couldn't even have a conversation
without it trying to search Bing for some random thing I just said. At least it makes a good dust collector these days though.

As others, works pretty much 99% of the time for me, I love it.

XBOX ON is by far the worst command and it gives me issues sometimes... you actually have to demand XBOX.. louder than normal.. say it with a burst of enerhy.. then pause and say ON...

works fine for me. also i have a galaxy note 3 and it works fine as well. Maybe you should (and I don't mean it as an insult) talk more clear and precise? remember devices aren't people and have to be talked to different. Also knowing the right commands.
For instance i head about the UFC demo. I turned on my xbox using xbox on (worked the first time when i got home) said "xbox bing U-F-C) and it came up right away.

Yep ,THB is right..You need to crank your volume to the point it tells you its too loud then dial it down a couple notches and calibrate it ..

It really does work well after that..It responds to the whole family
