Nobody is denying it's capabilities and usefulness (I tried this years ago), but some families find it annoying to say the least. You're one of the lucky ones I guess.
BTW... I've also served a 'life sentence +'... and if you'd like to know, speech recognition works on pattern signatures, like passive (or active) sonar in today's subs - hence the prior training needed as everyone's speech signature varies. I was working with people at Uni when they were developing this... back in the 'dark ages'

Sorry you mistook my emphasis for shouting. Next time, I'll underline.
And, no, I did not mix anything with anything else. I said, and reaffirm here, that, if a poster is going to criticize a mod (or whatever) as being unusable
for him, he ought to at least base his criticism on experience, not on speculation about what
might happen based on how he
assumes the mod will impact his environment.
A case in point: "I'd love to shout orders at my virtual crew...." Speaking calmly and quietly works just as well with a virtual crew using voice command as it does with a real-life crew. Shouting and screaming may be fine if you are trying to emulate a certain movie, but I doubt it accurately reflects the professionalism of the Kriegsmarine. Or represents effective behavior for a commander. And it can saturate the voice input, leading to nonrecognition errors.

(Sigh!) Because SH3Speech does not know your current heading, you can not say "Come to heading 354". The best you can do is say "Turn starboard 37 degrees." It would be nice if you could, but that
is a limitation of SH3Speech. Only SH5, with an integrated voice command capability, lets you do that.
But heading commands are the only ones limited in this way. Depth, speed, and rudder are not. All "gauge-mousing" inputs are precise and reproducible. Gauges switch from one function (like rudder/heading) to the other automatically. And you never have to use a mouse or keyboard entry again.
