Voice seems to work fine for me; and it evidently is 'mostly a Ford thing' since all Honda's are capable of being programmed while driving. Not sure about others but a friends Accord can be programmed while cruising at 60+ mph.

Mine works fine. You have to say numbers individually for it to recognize the addresses.
1234 NOT twelve-thirty-four

I think a lot of it is based on where you live and the street names. I tried a bunch of different ones...it got "University" but misses "Alafaya" (Al-a-Fay-a), it got "Colonial" but couldn't get "Rouse" (pronounced like "mouse" but with an R). Just for fun, I tried "Econlockhatchee"....
I guess if I lived where the streets were named Main Street or South Street, it wouldn't be such a problem.
I think it must be finding the street name first and getting the number range from the street because when it gets the street correct it also hears my numbers properly. When it biffs the street name, the number is usually way off too. In that case, I don't think it's me, it is cascading failures by the interpreter.

Only problem I had with voice input was when I first got the truck... but I was saying the address, city AND STATE. As soon as I just said the address and city without the state, it worked perfectly.
