Saying things like "xbox switch" and immediately "then I'll start talking and then we'll have the TV unmuted" doesn't work. The Kinect doesn't know when the command ends and conversation begins.... Ugh. ADHD users together with lots of Mountain Dew will need to learn to slow down.
I learned with Siri on the iPhone you had to talk just a bit slower with a consistent cadence and speak clearly. No laughing etc. Once you figure that out, it works just fine.
It's not useless. Voice recognition is based upon region. This is a USA Xbox One, but that's not the problem. They are used to filling air time. Kinect needs less talking. It's just too much info and two people talking at once. It's over loaded.
