This is awesome.

However, music control isn't a pain point for me. What I would pay for is a start/pause gesture for Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Video. Worst thing about TV on a computer.

Luke - that's a great point. We're working on it and it will be in the next version!

Once you guys have that down, take my money and I'll bolt an iMac to my wall.

My friend and I looked into controlling those apps for a program we made to control media players with your voice called Shoevox - http://shoevox.org

The hard part was that we used sending keyboard shortcuts as our method of sending commands (which works for programs we support like WMP or VLC), but we couldn't do that reliably to Flash. We thought about switching to UI Automation but haven't done so yet.

I have a wireless mouse and use google chrome's built in voice search feature to bring up things to watch on hulu and other sites on my tv.
