Star Commander
In conjunction of Starcraft II beta test release. I want to share this to every starcraft fan. I am a computer guy, I like computer very much even I want to make it to talk to me.

Anyone know about Voice Recognition? Text to Speech? You might see these technologies in mobile phone or some funny machine.

Actually, since Window XP. Microsoft has installed a speech engine in the window. We can train the window to listen to us. Tech it to listen us well for different accent of English.

I am a programmer. I am totally crazy with advance and high tech stuff. Now. Star trek is my favourite. ("Computer generate report!!!"). Hey, no one will type so much in star trek. Isn't it?

Lady and gentleman,
I like to present to you my small litter program. I call it Starcraft Commander.
This litter simple program enable player to use voice to command the actions.

I give you an example.

Double click the terrans marines and say Steam Packs. Automatically, the marines are packed with steam. Hahaha..

This is super cool, real command real voice and real action.
I think this changes the game playing experience in total.

No more shaking hand on the hard to remember shortcut keys. A lot of them.


I tested with first version of star craft. It works fine. I only have the Terrans' Command in the file with extension xml. You can simply open it up and add other race's command. You can even change the command name like Steam Packs to Steam F*cking Packs.


If you want to try it out please go to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/starcommander/files/

Download strcmder.zip
Unzip it
Change the StarCommander.txt to StarCommander.exe
Run the exe (you have to be in Vista or with .NET Framework 3.0 and above)
Prepare you mic
Start your starcraft
Start playing
Training your voice recognition of window. Goto control panel to trigger the training.

Hell, it's about time...

This seems cool, not sure if it will work well though..

I think you are better off getting one of these Review: Emotiv EPOC

If it worked well this would be the future of gaming. I would love to just think all the actions and have my units do them.

Haha gaming will become so much easier, although some commands would be rather slow compared to their respective hotkey but we'll have to see.

Well, maybe in the future some combination of voice, brain, and gesture control will replace the current mouse and keyboard setup. From what I've read about the brain control, it's better for fps' than rts'. It's best used for those kinda reflex type commands, like firing your weapon when you see an enemy. Not sure how it could be used for RTS, maybe you could macro it to some micro commands so that you get the jump on your opponent during those important micro fights.

Somewhere in the long future lol, the gesture control would be sweet though.

Still promoting this... still no one like it.
Recent SIRI in iPhone 4s is impressing... dont know how the success rate.

Wow...I'm speechless. You are a genius. Get this patent before somebody steals your idea

I don't know if this is real but I thought I heard something about a starcraft with kinect control.
