Re: Kinect Voice Command "Open Tray" from the hub

Same problem, saying 'Xbox open tray' does not eject the disc tray.  It either searches Bing for some useless crap, or tries to show some game info for a game I do not have in the tray, or other random uselessness.  Why is this command listed on the official Xbox Kinect page support.xbox.com/.../control-your-xbox-360-with-your-voice and yet does not work?

Seriously man? Of course you're going to agree with them hence you an XBOX AMBASSADOR. We want to have it open by the time we get there. Why even have a play button. Having that is a moot point as you are using a controller to play the game so why not just press A. I mean common you need to argue against people who payed for a service and expected a feature to work as it was intended.

It could be a protection feature. How would you like it if someone decides to tell the xbox to open the tray in the middle of a game? All progress lost! Terrible, terrible, terrible.

So, could be by design.

Simple solution... only allow voice command to eject disc when at the dashboard. And to the person who says it's easier to push the eject button, why is there a controller command to eject the disc? Anything I can do with the controller on the dashboard I should be able to do with voice commands. Also, why allow us to open and close an empty tray with voice if pushing the button is easier? This was just a bad design, if it wasn't a bug.

Your a horrible ambassador if your going to say that about gamers. That or a horrible representative. I would not like someone representing my company, telling my faithful customers to lose the gut and suck it up.

See, when I was your age, fantasy books with science like Dune, were not that popular, and a TV series called Star Trek (not sure if you heard of it), and movies like Star Wars really helped push the human imagination. So when a new device that helps recognize your face, movements, and i am sure there are more pssiblities, make it close to Star Trek/War/Dune.

So Senior Ambassador, it will not take anyone's experience from getting up and pressing that cool button (which if someone or something bumps into can still ruin the game experience!!).

So chillax yo, don't attack people yo. Honestly, we just need an answer to know if this is a bug, coming soon feature, or some type of explanation.

BlinkeredSteak1 we have not yet heard if there are any new updates coming to the Kinect with regard to the speech recognition. However, Microsoft recently added a new app called "Voice Studio" which they are using purely for speech recognition data. The user is required to say different phrases while game sounds/music/tv show dialogue plays in the background. It would appear that Microsoft is attempting to make the speech recognition better by finding out how to filter out background noise while accurately executing a command.

To everyone else: Please do not assume that Xbox Ambassadors will always take the side of Microsoft. We realize that there are tons of things that Microsoft could do better with the Xbox 360, Live, and Xbox accessories (i.e. Kinect). We are XA's because we enjoy helping people resolve their Xbox issues.

It is not perfect and it messes up on some words but when I play Skyrim it doesn't usually mess up so bad. I mumble a lot because of a speech disorder and it still reads me quite good if I stop and speak loudly and enunciate.

Ch0zy mentioned a social app called voice studios. It helps sends data about members of your family who uses speech recognitiion. So using that app will help improve it.

Lastly, make sure to use the tuner and see if your in a room with bad background noise. When all my roommates are in the same room it can barely hear me.

Hope I help!
