I would like to ask the forum for their opion about the small PC I found in Best Buy (USA)

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-ideacentre-stick-300-intel-atom-2gb-memory-32gb-solid-state-drive-black/4472201.p?id=1219751161670&skuId=4472201

It's called Lenovo - IdeaCenter Stick and has an Intel Atom processor with 2GB Memory and 32GB Solid State Drive
It has Windows 10 installed and plugs into the back of your TV via a HDMI port.

As I would like to start with VoxCommando, I was thinking of Buying one (it's only 99bucks)
And run VoxCommando and Kodi on it. (movies,TV Shows, etc... are on my QNAP NAS Server)

As microphone I would buy a bluetooth device.

What is the forums opinion, you think this would work?

Hi Dieter and welcome to the Forum.

This pocket-PC will work with VC+kodi

Pro: small and cheap

contra:
1. only one USB port (2.0)
2. no extra audio output
3. no network LAN connector

If you have a Android device, you can use VoxWav instead as a bluetooth mic    http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=VoxWav

Bluetooth audio is poor quality. If you use a Bluetooth microphone you must use the SP version of VoxCommando.

Apart from a weak processor I think 32gig drive and 2gig ram are also very big cons. It won't be long before all your 32gigs is used and windows 10 grinds to a halt.

Hi James & Kalle,

Thanks for your inputs.
I think I will give it a try and go buy one this evening.

I'll keep you posted!

Regards,
Dieter

Ok, so I bought one and I have succesfully installed VoxCommando on it and Kodi.
Both are working, I was a little bit affraid on the Wifi (my movies, etc... are on my NAS)

But... here comes the downpart of it...

The operating system is Windows 10.
I was planning on using VoxCommandoSP so I would have Dutch Voice Recognition as well as having it working with a bluetooth device.

Well, apparently Windows 10 does not support Microsoft Speech Pack anymore...
So there goes my complete idea right to the drain. :-(

Hi Dieter,


are you sure with the Dutch Speech Pack in Windows 10?


I found this at the Micosoft page:

Hi Kalle,

Yeah I am sure.
You have can have the voice talking to you in Dutch, but you can speak to it in Dutch :-(

I still need to look around on the forum too looking for stuff on VoxCommando with Windows 10.
But I can't open VoxCommandoSP as it is saying I dont have Speech Platform installed.

Windows 10 really sucks!!! (pardon my language)

Take a look at our Wiki pages, maybe you find something - for example: http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Languages


Maybe this topic will help you: http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=2471.0

Speech Platform installs and works fine with Windows 10 and you can use VoxCommandoSP, no problem, if you follow the instructions.

Maybe you have a "mobile" version of Windows 10?

Hi James,

I installed the Speech Platform, followed your movie and it works!
I got myself confused with checking the requirements tab on the Microsoft Website, it not listing Window 10 there :-(

Thanks for the support!
