As a few of you already know, I've made some voice control things. I've decided to make it it's own thing since I've had a lot of people requested for what I already have. I need help on 3 things.

1. Funding. I have a crowdfunding project for this, and I have to get that much. I need to fund the marketing, legal, tax, pr, and some graphic development.
2. Letting everyone know about my project on the crowdsourcing site.
3. Tell me what you like/don't like. Tell me what you would like for me to add or take away. (I am thinking about making some even more advance features on it.)

Anyways, my project is at

The updated video on this software is

Looks to me like another attempt to get money for project that never goes live or wont be of any use. Have you considered that voice commands may/will conflict with other voice communication software or can be used to automate whole fleets if properly configured (broadcast target > say command to select and target broadcasted > command to shoot > next target > ... > broadcast gate > command to jump... etc)?

Also CCP does not support any 3rd party tools beyond providing API.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

You obviously haven't read/watch it. So it looks to me like another attempt to troll without thinking/reading/watching.

1. you can't use the system to run an entire fleet. Even if you had all the voice commands right, each ship would have to target the object (gate, foe, station, etc.) So you would have to go to each window and click the target before or after you gave the command. (Also, the system only works on 1 window at a time right now)
2. CCP is a business. They could work a deal.
3. Something like this isn't really made for PVP or someone who has to be on a teamspeak while playing the game. However, you can pause it when you're not using it.

That 17min video where actual presentation starts on 8th minute? Pretty much a waste of time.

1. Do you know that you can navigate through overview with arrow buttons on keyboard, also broadcasted targets move to top of said overview? So you dont actually have to select whatever is being broadcasted, just press proper shortcut with a command bound to it. Also when i said fleet, i meant remote control of multiple PCs, so by using voice comms and your tool it becomes an automated fleet with perfect alpha and perfect command execution.

The entire thing was explaining what was going on, about the project, and what the system does. I NEVER SAID THIS VIDEO ONLY SHOWS A DEMO OF THE SYSTEM.

So basically you're saying that someone is going to buy a load of computers just to do this?

Anyways, besides you being worried about someone flying a fleet alone. What do you think of the voice control system? Do you like any part of the system? Do you think it could help you?

At current stage of development it still requires player to manually select things (during solo play), launch drones, ...etc which kind of defeats the main purpose of that software - to control with voice without being @ keyboard.

There is no key binding for launching drones. The reason why I made it was to make it where you can hit the odd keys without moving your hands. I've notice in other games i spent a bit of time moving my hand from the w a s keys to 0 - [ p keys.
One of the things I added to this game is where you can say something and a few things happen. For example when I said "we are fighting" in the video. My low and high mods went on, along with my drones when in an attack mode.
I was thinking of having another thing where I can say "start mining", and a few things happen. I was thinking of having it where it would automatically shoot the mining lasers for you.
Basically it would shoot 1 laser at the target, switch targets, shoot 1 at the current target, and so on.
