Hello

I just noticed this on steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/374400/

It's a program that allows you to use voice commands to activate keybinds

I'm wondering if this is allowed?

Like shouting "FIRE ZE MISSILES" and that activates F1 for example.
I'm guessing for obvious reasons you are not allowed to use the macro feature.

Try looking at the top thread.

I smells trolls.

It's unfortunate that they chose to use 'bot' in the name of the program. Most people, with their inherent bias when they see that word, will stop reading right there.

Having said that, there is nothing wrong with voice activated commands for games. Many handicapped players could not participate is this great hobby without it.

Voice recognition is macroing and broadcasting by CCP's definition.

Yeah so long as it isn't automation it should be fine, similar to the fancy keyboards :P

one key per voice command should be alright. more than that, no so much.
but why not a lovely "f?ck you" to actvate f1 ?
not recommend is a longer citation.
not so good reciting the code.
better is to holler: for james.

or make the pop sound with your lips.

To be honest it would be cool to issue voice commands to the computer, like Star Trek for example.

Just don't be playing Wumpscut in the background or you are headed for a blue on blue or sec status hit. Pirate

Not saying this couldn't be cool, however is it really worth investing CCP's time in development and how many people would abuse/spam this to cause possible lag?

From an accessibility point of view, if it can help assist disabled player to enjoy the game, then it should be encouraged.

I remember trying to use something similar ages ago to try to play Battlefield with a deaf person and having a program turn voice into chat messages that it posted automatically but it was only somewhat successful, mostly because the technology was not that great at the time, I guess but the results were sometimes funny ^^

Voice command software isn't new.

The main problem with it is that it's usually considerably slower to activate a module by voice than it is to just hit a hotkey. There's also the potential for it to misfire, especially after a few refreshing beverages.

It has its place, helping those who have serious difficulty using a mouse and a keyboard.

I know, I tried it out......

Voice activation doesn't become key broadcasting until one voice command is broadcast to more than one client.

I didn't see any mention of multiple client use, so it appears it's just an improvement in RP.

Yeah the bot part in the name is unfortunate. But I would really like to see something like this integrated into eve. I'm lazy and i can think of many comfortable things to use this for.

I knew another player back in 2009 who in having limited use of his hands used Dragonspeak (I think that's what it was called) to put chat text in the Eve client.

Sometimes it would screw up and come up with interesting results. Lol
