I use an USB Mic, the
Plantronics 300 USB setup, which works really well with my MacMini and Centrafuse.
It seems your issues with the Frontend maybe re;lated to evelopement Engine? Maybe post this in the CF section, where Dave can assist better.
As mentioned, you have to configure it for Voice to work....
What you can try though, the keyword should default to "Computer"
So, you could say "Computer..Load Main" or "Computer..Load Phone" or "Computer..Load Mixer"
These are a few of the default commands, which should take you to the respective screens.
Remember to slightly slow your speech, and try and control the amplitude of your speech on one modulation. Do not vary the tone to much, and it should work.
One more thing, there is a ctrl-something shortcut to enable/disable voice.....I think by default it is disabled - the CF manual should help you out here.
Keep us posted.
