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 Star 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 Stim F*cking Packs.
