I seem to remember programs existed that allowed you to issue commands via voice instead of keypresses. Anyone know about this? Is it actually useful?

Dragon Naturally Speaking used to be owned by Nuance. I used it on my wife's laptop, Dragon Naturally Speaking Medical. It works. You have to train it for a lot of words, but once trained, it's fast and pretty accurate. It can be used to launch programs like IE, favorites, go back, open documents with and such commands work pretty good.

Can I make it work with sims like Falcon 4 AF or LOMAC FC2 though? Like, issue a voice command and the relevant in-game command is issued (ie, attack my target, request landing, etc.)?

Sounds like your looking for Shoot 1.6.4 or something like that.

I used a program called voice buddy from edimensional. I have to be honest and say it seemed like a good idea at the time but I never got it working to my satisfaction. Now you have mentioned it though I may give out another go.

Dragon was never meant for games.

I was using Shoot 5 years ago in F4:AF. I had all the radio commands programmed into it so I didn't have to use any keyboard shortcuts. Worked great.

Thanks for the votes on both software. I think I'll start with Shoot then, with it being free and all...

What's this about 'training'?
