So I just got my kinect yesterday and the voice commands are a big help...when they're choosing to obey me that is. I simply can't get the game to recognise certain words with any consistency (some are simple too, like 'dual', which the game insists on meaning 'right'). I was wondering if there are some tricks to help with this. I noticed for example that often when trying to use 'quick map' I'd get 'quick magic' instead, until I stopped pronouncing the 'p' in 'map'. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, and welcome to the Forums.

You should try posting in the dedicated Xbox-forum instead, and read the Kinect FAQ.
