I have read several messages claiming voice control works poorly with
voiceover. In fact, this is logical when not using any external
listening devices. The mike is constantly listening and so may react in
unexpected ways to a word or phrase spoken by Voiceover.
So, if you want/need to use voice control, do so with an external device
with a microphone. I love voice control for many situations and only
wish it could be used to activate features of programs once opened.
