My Voice Controller
About
My Voice Controller allows you to emulate mouse and keyboard inputs by using your voice. Common uses for this software are gaming and assistance for the disabled/injured. I wrote this program to assist me with playing various games including World of Warcraft. The software is free. The source code is available for download so that you may recompile it yourself if you’re worried about any malicious intent of the software. The software is compatible with XP and Vista.

NO SPYWARE. NO VIRUSES. NO KEYLOGGERS. NO ADWARE.

Features
  • Mapping voice keywords to common tasks
  • Send a single key or text phrase
  • Key down/up
  • Mouse button click (Left, right, middle)
  • Mouse cursor move
  • Mouse cursor position save and load
  • Delays - Useful for keyboard, mouse and macro input
  • Macros - Allows common/long commands to be referenced by a single key word
  • Special voice commands such as repeat last command

So on the one hand, I'd love to use this, it'd be so helpful. On the other hand, it might get one banned.
Blizzard has posted officially that as long as YOU are in control, and not the script, using this is fine.

There are two things I'd like to cover in this reply...

1) This is wonderful because it does aid handicapped people, my reaction times aren't that fast due to my sight being poor. In fact, I'm often blithering and looking for my cursor when I should be playing. This would help make me a more competent gamer, and that would be grand.

That's awesome.

You can heal through karazhan without using a mouse and keyboard. Nice for those days you feel like being lazy.

Impressive

I am totally impressed by your effort to give the handicapped a little tool to catch up! And that you give away the source code is definitley great. You even did not forget to write some documentation! This is exemplary!

I am sure I will try your VoiceController (which I would not do if you had not released the source ;-) to hopefully make some tasks in WoW easier for me, as I am handicapped myself. I am going to request the source code at the given URL asap!

In ancient WoW history I used the ingenious "AutoRogue" addon to help me play my rogue char quite successfully, but since this does not work anymore due to API restrictions introduced later, I am searching for any help I could get.
  • First the Logitech G15 Keyboard does help me a lot. I use the special function keys to get access to my actionbar buttons more directly than it was possible with the usual keyboard layout.
  • Second I wrote a lot of macros to help me script some common tasks of my chars.
  • Third I use a big bunch of addons to make life easier, to get functionality where I need it.

Unfortunately external "bot" programs who might help a little more are no option... I don't want to get banned :-/
Thank you for adding a new dimension - the voice - to controlling WoW.

Ok, I won't use it if I am playing in a party, they would probably not like hearing me shouting something like "sap! sap!" all the time! LOL!


in short: thank you!
