ER1 Voice Recognition
The voice recognition software for ER1 works more consistantly if you limit the words it needs to attempt to recognize. The Behavior Settings - Sound - Word Phrase list can be used to add words to limit the recognition too. This really improved the results even with the laptop microphone. The only thing is that this list is for all behaviors. In other words you can not have one list for behavior 1 and another list for behavior 2. Most of the other options in Behavior Settings can be set different for each behavior number. This did not stop me from getting the robot to recognize single phrase words in a specific sequence to initiate a specified task. You simply add all words to the Word Phrase List and set up individual behaviors with sequences to control the program flow based on word phrases. Couple this with loading new behaviors based on a sequence of commands and you have a real powerfull way to launch programs by voice.

So what you're saying is now it understands the phrase "Get me a beer"?
Yes but it is more like "Get Beer".
