I was wondering about on how to make BZ 2 a bit easier, and considered that it can be done with speech recognition technology!

I'm not so pro in programming, that's why I don't do it myself, but I bet there's some programmers who know BZ 2 better.
Here's the link for the software development kit:

It has a working example to Age of Empires 2, I hope it helps you and we see a speech controlled BZ 2 soon.

Your best bet is an external program, I can't see BZ2 itself containing this. Especially with how mods constantly change the way things work.

I like speech recognition on my RTS... if it's a console RTS.
PC RTS? I'll take the keyboard thanks.

Unless you're the announcer at a horse race, most people can type faster than they can talk. Hitting a few number keys to build a scav is *not hard*.

well, build a scav is not so hard, but for example build 2 walkers and 6 service trucks is a bit more difficult when you are in a mortar bike and circling around a walker.

I bet you could get a sound command to key combo program for the background.

That's what switch command is for ;)

Oh yes, because dodging an enemy with the chat menu covering your entire screen is easy... :roll:

But speech control doesn't seem necessary to me.

We need a shortcut for giving up and taking command (Adds this to TJ's newkeys as he speaks).
