Like i said, there are 2 Options that do not require at least basic calibrating:

-1- The speech recognition is *G-REAT* , and margins & thresholds are wide enough to deliver good speech recognition even under bad circumstances ( loud empeg volume & other noise )

-2- The speech recognition is crappy and only delivers good results in your living room, with volume set to <-20 db ... ( maybe not that bad, but you get the basic idea :-)

empeg people, do you read this, can you give us a kind of forecast on the speech recognition ???
