Hello, this is my first TL post and I was thinking that I should make my first post be an interesting one.
I have been played around with windows seven voice recognition and thought that it would be an interesting way to try to play Starcraft two or at least incorporate it into the game play.
I did a search first and from that some people were trying to use it with a more and Windows Vista of them turn out too well.
Anyway when I get home tonight I'm going to try it now and not specifically use only voice recognition but incorporated with my normal keyboard play.
I will try to post a reply as well as audio with what my commands are im thinking it might work well for like microing if it understands it quickly or I can say press one to select my base or press two to select my marine and so on.
As you can see, I wrote this post using the voice recognition software in windows 7 up to this point.
So, guys, lets see what if we can play a game! Plus, I think it would be loads of fun to do some 1v1 voice turnys!
Also, please do not say this is dumb and that you have better APM on the keyboard, I know that, but I was wondering if this would work, plus it could be a fun change of pace!
*******EDIT********
Some misconceptions so far... I am not talking about saying things like "Build Marine" Because it WONT do that. - I am saying that you can say "Press 5" if you had hot keyed your rax, it would then select it. You could then say "Press A" and it would build a marine.
I am also not trying to get any sort of "edge" on the game, I am just saying it would be FUN to watch or to try with a buddy after after a few beers.
Posts such as "My APM is better with my fingers" are not what I am looking for..
Anyway, time to head out for some of those beers with the buddies! Will post a video soon, promise!!
Well, what could you actually make it do with your voice? My understanding of windows 7's in-built voice recognition is that it just uses pre-determined voice commands to do things. Like "Open Internet Explorer" or something. What could you make it do in starcraft? You couldn't say "select hatchery" or something because it wouldnt know what to do.
lol u would be fucked in the late game yelling make SCV make SCV move army move army attack atttack supply depot, u would get tired and look like a fool

If there was a way to register custom commands to do something it could alter the game significantly I think. For example, during a micro intensive section of the game, you could call out "Build Probe" or "Charge" (get the upgrade), etc. Take care of minor macro while dealing with micro. Or even register "Burrow" and use it to burrow roaches or something.

I tend to do this anyway, except it comes out as + Show Spoiler +
'dammit dammit dammit fuck dammit no dammit STOP DYING AND KILL THEM'
If it made things happen better than micro I might be interested.

Yo dude I wish. I could be microing lings and then shout "MACRO" and I'd lose control for exactly 1/17 of a second while all my larvae were injected and more lings built. I would win every game.
"Build Marine" *I'm sorry, did you say 'Bill Murray'?* "No, Build Marine!!" *Marauder Building* "Fucking No!! Cancel!!" *I'm Sorry, did you say 'float command center'?* "What??! No" *Command Center lifted, all mining cancelled* "God damnit" *I'm sorry did you say 'type gg and leave game'?* "What??! no that's not even close to what I said" *Game surrendered, you lose* "FML" *hard drive reformatting*

Bassicly you can dictate to it, I wrote the whole post by just saying the words. Granted, "SELECT HATCH AND DESTROY WHOLE FUCKING BASE!" will not work, I can hot key 5 for my hatch and say "Press 5" "Press S" "Press Z four times" all while not having to move my fingers.
Also, there is no way this is against the ST&C, it is ment for handicaped people, sooo if they did ban me I would just let everyone on the internetz know that Blizzard does not like handicapped people!
You can also use a command "Mouse Grid" which will pull up a grid on your screen and you can tell it where to click. I think it would be amazing to watch a 2v2 where all you see is each team shouting at their computers.
The mouse Grid is shown in this youtube video, Sorry I do not have time right now to start recording my SC2 voice commands!
