Ways to play video games using only voice recognition?

[HTBandicoot]

I'm still getting over carpal tunnel syndrome and trying to explore my options. I've heard of voice attack working with windows and Steam. However, is there a program that works with Mac and emulation possibly?

I've been playing with the settings and even setting my voice commands to those of the controller, but no luck. The only progress was when I tried it with Daggerfall and was able to get my character to move over a mm when I said the word "right." hahah so that still wasn't helpful.

I'm hoping I can get over this soon, but I'd just like to know if there are options out there?

can you try keyboard binding instead of controller bindings and set things up that way?
I dont know much about voice control but there was an old pc program called "Dragon Naturally Speaking" (or something like that that) that would do that kind of thing
saying "right" = keyboard stroke D = right "d-pad" press in a emulator???

or am i being dumb and that was the first thing you tried?

I don't know. But there is this game Lifeline where the gimmick is that instead of playing as the mc, you direct her action with your voice using a mic.

That’s sort of what I tried. Apple has a lot of accessibility settings already. So it lets me specify per app. So I selected the emulation app. And then I created a command that would match the button I would select on the keyboard.

It works a little bit in the games installed for the computer, like daggerfall unity. If I could just get it to control how much I move in a certain direction. I can also get my MacBook to follow my head as the mouse, so it lets me look around in the game a little that way too. It was very small, but that was the only “success” I’ve had with any of my attempts.
