That was my experience too. Just breathing sometimes would set off a
command. How can breathing sound anything like a command? I had the volume
set as low as I could get it and still recognize my commands and did not
have mic boost on. Frustrating was my experience with this software, but I
kow others in the flight-sim group that really like it.

Same experience here. I don't really feel silly talking to the computer,
though, as long as it has a practical purpose, which being able to keep
focused on the action, rather than key-hunting, would definitely be
practical. But the bottom line is that it doesn't work, at least not in my
case. Oddly, GameCommander version 1.0 works quite a bit better for me than
GC2 does, although neither works well enough to keep them employed.
I bought a sub sim called Sub Command and it comes with an install option
for Microsoft's voice recognition software, but I never installed it because
of my experience with GC2. Maybe I should try it out sometime and see if it
works any better than GC2.
WindowsXP comes with the voice recognition software already. Apparently you
can use it in MS Office to dictate letters etc.
The voice and game sound are seperate at one point or another. They
obviously have to be because they are coming from different sources.
Whether it's technically feasible or not, for me to be interested in it
that's what it would have to do.
I owned one for a week and took it back for this reason.
