Sky Rover Voice Command Drone

The Twelfth Drone in the Fleet

     The twelfth micro quadcopter in the fleet, the Sky Rover Voice Command Drone, was purchased on December 2, 2016, from Barnes & Noble in Cincinnati, Ohio, for $60.86.  I have flown it ten times, all in the flight room.

     The obvious difference between this drone and all of my other ones is the voice command option.  The first time I tried the voice command feature was a disaster.  The drone only recognized a small number of my commands; not understanding or incorrectly interpreting most of them.  That is when Cheryl, my wife, decided to give it a try.  Amazingly, she had instant success with the commands, getting almost everyone right.  Since she was a mathematics professor and also trained in acting and opera, she explained to me that I had to speak more clearly and distinctly.  Sure enough, I can now get it to do almost everything I want it to.  Of course, I still have the control sticks to correct any problems that arise.  We like the fact that the Sky Rover is the only quadcopter that we can fly together at the same time.  Cheryl uses the voice command microphone and I use the sticks on the transmitter.  Since the microphone plugs into the transmitter we have to stand close to each other, but it works just fine.  Whenever she has a problem getting a voice command to act quickly enough to get her out of trouble, I just use the sticks to help her out.
