I have been using Sh3Speech (and SHSpeech for SH4) exclusively for the past two years. After training my Windows VR (took 15 minutes), I get zero misrecognitions (executes wrong command) and about 2% non-recognitions (doesn't execute anything). I have used a cheap $12 Radio Shack wired headset and a $100 Sony wireless headset with equally good results, although a $120 Logitech wireless had such poor voice input quality that it was useless.

SH3Speech is not a mod, but a free-standing program. It doesn't prevent the player from using keystrokes or mouse movements if he needs to. Voice command gives a sense of being in command of the boat that goes waaay beyond keyboard-and-mouse control. It's the difference between simulating a ship and simulating a water-borne single-seat fighter.
I was just joking.

It might be worth it if I could just say "Come to heading 354" rather than having to screw around with that compass thing.
