I’ve recently decided that using your voice to control objects is awesome!
I tried out some programs on the computer for typing and navigating using voice control several years ago, but the technology was horribly flawed. It would do things your didn’t want it to do and was very frustrating. But recently, I’ve played a few games that have voice control commands and have been pleasantly surprised.

I just played the demo to End War and it has awesome voice recognition. It uses a “Who, What, Where” structure for issuing commands that works quite well. The games consistently recognize the commands that I issue and usually the only times it misses is when I mumble. One example is when I tried to tell it to select “Unit twelve” and it kept getting unit four. I have no idea how it got 4 from 12 but that was my only issue after playing for about an hour.

I think I may be addicted to voice commands now because I almost tried talking to my computer after playing. It’s probably time I try using voice control software again on my PC to I can control my computer like in Star Trek.
