Over the past few weekends, I’ve been working with my friend Robert on a fun side project. Tonight we’re proud to be releasing ShoeVox, a Windows applications that allows you to control media applications with your voice. Please check our Rob’s announcement post for full details, including a download link.

Sweet. I need to find a Windows box so that I can test this out.

I would love to get this to work as it is customizable,
but it just isn’t working on windows 7 32 bit.
Even the built in base commands are not being sent.
I can tell it is hearing me as I can move the window to the back and it will come forward for a moment when I speak a command,but nothing is happening.
I have tried different variations of the syntax,including
copying it from my wsr macros.
Hours of trying and nothing.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Would like to get this working as I could setup all
the media center shortcuts.
WSR is just too slow and I can’t use a prefix on that.
Thank you.

Ok,I got past the bug of commands not being sent to windows 7 media center.
Adding this to the shoevox.exe.config file just above the last line……….
Put that just above at the end of the file.
It forces sendkeys to use sendinput and works for
both media center and media player.
I don’t have the other apps installed,but I would imagine
it would work with those too.
Now I need to work on some of the shortcuts.
F8 is sending F7 for some reason.
