Use Windows Speech Recognition to play Civilization V

The short:If you're using windows seven, you have speech recognition available. Add a good microphone and the windows speech recognition macro application and you can run this file.Read the file, read the file, read the file. Did I say to read the file? There are a lot of commands as well as other information you may want to know.I've included the readme text below…The long:© 2012 Christopher James Uzal.

Click "Sign Speech Macros..."Now you just have to make sure that the Windows Speech Recognition Macro Applicationis in your system tray before loading Civilization V every time you want to use thismacroset.================What can I say?================Civilopedia[Economic, Military, Diplomacy] Info[Social Policies, Tech] ScreenNotification LogVictory ProgressDemographicsStrategic ViewQuick [Save, Load]Toggle [Hex Grid, resource icons, Yield icons]MenuEnd TurnMove Mode[Move, Next, Previous] UnitZoom [out, in]Capital CityGame OptionsSaveLoad**********Civilian Units**********Establish CityConstruct a [Road, Railroad, Farm, Camp, Trading Post, Mine,Plantation, Pasture, Quarry, Fort, Well, Lumber Mill]Clear [Jungle, Forest, Marsh]Route to ModeCreate Fishing BoatsCreate Offshore PlatformCancel Last MissionCitadel**********Ground Units**********Move ModeAutomated ExplorationPut unit [on alert, to sleep]Do NothingDelete this UnitAttackRanged AttackSet Up ArtilleryFortify until healed**********Air Units**********Rebase ModeAir Strike ModeAir SweepInterceptNuke Mode================Notes================This is the Windows Speech Recognition voice command macro set for Civilization V.I made it for three reasons:1. I have a severe fine motor disability. I don't use keyboards.2. I am a good programmer (this was far from the difficult.)3. I love Civilization. This is just as much of an immersion project for meas it is an accessibility project.There are a lot of commands. Get familiar with them. If you play Civilization,you're probably already familiar with a lot of the terms. Disability or not, thisis the best way to play civilization.Context is extremely important when using voice commands for Civilization V.Double check and triple check that you are in the right context for the commands youwant to use.Final thoughts…You need headphones to play a video game with speech recognition software.I got this working without the headphones but the volume had to be very, very low.I recommend open circumaural headphones so you can hear outside environmental noise (likepeople knocking on your door or entering your house) but nobody else hears your audio,especially your microphone.================If you like this...================… and you are an individual…I know how much it sucks to put up money for something only to have some assclownbleed you out for the final piece of your puzzle. I also know how liberating it feelsto have somebody nudge you in an unexpected direction that leads to more freedom and pleasure.Basically, I don't expect anything from individual users of my macro sets.That said, if you're feeling generous and you want to show your gratitude…You could give me money at paypal. USD 15.00 would suffice. That would cover beer money. :-)Perhaps a more likely way of showing your gratitude would be to gift a game to me through Steam.Any game will do.Both ways will inspire me to make more voice command sets for Windows Speech Recognition.If you're the developer or a part of a big organization like a hospital, foundation or government...do the right thing and contact me to put up essentially peanuts for making games accessible.Games are not only thing that can be made accessible through properly written voice command sets.Productivity software, routines specific to your company, etc., etc. can use speech recognition macros.Once again, contact me. We'll find the right solution together.
