Voice Control Audio Quality

[jeremytripp]

Hello all, I’m about to tackle @alexyak’s Voice Control module and wondering if audio quality has been a concern for others who’ve used any of the voice recognition modules? Right now I’m using a USB HD webcam to capture audio and the quality is less than ideal when recording playback (but probably usable). Just wondering if I need to go through the whole ordeal of getting a sound card and all that before I bother training models on Snowboy. Thanks in advance!

I find the sound quality of my USB cam for voice recording quite usable. What’s more important for the snowboy recognition to be more accurate is to record your own voice for the model on the same device you will be using it after.
