I am pretty sure only a moron would say "xbox on" while the console is running and "xbox off" while the console was off would make just as much sense.
The general consensus (i.e. guess) is that "Xbox, on" and "Xbox, off" sound too similar, so "turn" was put in to better differentiate the two.
Which is stupid. I don't have to say "Xbox turn on"... I also am having trouble playing games. "Xbox play Fifa 14" opens the music app 100% of the time. I never want to use the music app, ever. In fact, even with it uninstalled, if goes to the "download music app" page in the store. That is stupid.
Plus... I'd rather have the "off" command to be a multiple word command, to lessen the chances of it misunderstanding, and shutting down when I don't mean it to.The general consensus (i.e. guess) is that "Xbox, on" and "Xbox, off" sound too similar, so "turn" was put in to better differentiate the two.

From what I've read, the command is "Xbox, go to [game name]" for games and apps. Otherwise, it thinks you're playing music. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I am a developer, I hate goto's. >_>
This made me laugh. I'm a dev too.

Which makes very little sense. I don't want to "go to" anything. I am a developer, I hate goto's. >_> You play games, why would they make it not "Xbox play <game>"? I don't understand how their voice recognition is such garbage. I don't have to say "Siri, go to app clock and set an alarm for 630 AM central standard time". I can say "wake me up at 630" and be done with it...
MS is showing us why voice recognition software was terrible before Apple all over again.
Play is for the music app that's why. It is very specific on the commands. "Play disk" will bring up the music app every time but if you are on the home screen "play disk" will play the current disk in the drive.
$10 says that this voice recognition is temporary until Cortana is ready sometime next year.
I sure hope so. The voice stuff is pretty pathetic compared to what is offered on my iPhone. Yes, I know it doesn't do the actual processing on the phone, but 99% of people don't know that.
If MS had done that everyone would be up in arms about how its listening to them all the time and it is going to be used by the NSA...
And then they will buy it anyway. I hate that MS caters to the morons on the internet who cry about the most asinine things. What? Your email isn't secure? You mean a means of electronic communication using only the most rudimentary security that wasn't developed to be secure in any way transmitting a message over public airwaves can be read by anyone, including a government agency? Well, that sure is surprising...
Next, they're going to tell me yelling into my cellphone in public is also subject to other people hearing my conversation.

It's more for the Kinect not understanding if you said "on" or "off", not that somebody would mistake the two. When it hears "turn", it knows you said off.
Uhh... aren't you supposed to say "turn on?" So that doesn't make sense.
The xbox is only set to recognize that specific command when in the standby mode. You can't do anything else. It only understands "xbox on". When it's in the power on state, you can say "what's on <channel name>" when watching tv. So yes it can be misunderstanding on and off.
Does it understand both "xbox on" and "xbox turn on?" And what about "xbox off" versus "xbox turn off?" It's not clear to me...
