Haven't played with it yet but it's there. A little icon looks like a guy talking right next to the throttle. Anyone try it yet?

Didn't realize it was there until I saw your post. Just gave it a quick try out.
It works OK on my App. I did simple things like "blow horn (whistle)," "stop and run." Also it was able to fire both couplers.
What I need to see are the valid values for the voice commands. Some are intuitive but others you sort of have to guess.

Did you ask it for help?
Nope, just had a few minutes to give it a quick try. Will re-visit later.

Yes, if you ask it for help, it gives you examples of valid commands.
I would say that voice control may not be for everyone, but I found it works reliably and predictably and to be--for me, at least--just a heck of a lot of fun!
I plan on "testing" it with my grandchildren and seeing how they like it.
Also, I think it's a godsend for people who for whatever reason are not able to manipulate a remote or a smart device.
Does the Voice Control work with all Bluetooth locos? I have a 2031700 Big Boy. It has Bluetooth.

Yes
Does "Engage" work with the Star Trek train?
I have been using it and it works great. Besides the listed commands there are hidden commands that work such as faster and slower. I feel the best are the sequence commands such as depart to start the engine and arrival along with the grade crossing command.
it works ok so far. slow speed is nice. medium and fast speed are way to fast for my liking. the ability to say go to speed step such n such would be better. as for showing this feature off to family and friends. they will say wow thats cool. so it great for what it was designed for and thats kids.
Thank you Marty. Big Boy runs just fine with voice commands.
I personally would avoid the fastest setting. Seems with the delay in processing this could be a bad scenario. LOL!
