VoiceBot

VoiceBot is one of those tools that gamers are sure to appreciate because it has a very good idea in mind. It’s a piece of software that you can use to issue voice commands to your games, making it a lot easier to multitask without breaking your hands on the keyboard.

The concept behind VoiceBot is very straightforward. You have a microphone, you create a macro and then when you say the word or words that are associated, the app takes action and triggers them.

For example, playing Dota 2, you can link Earthshaker's Fissure(stun) to the word ‘stun’. Or better yet, you can select the courier and have it deliver your items without breaking focus from controlling your hero. All it takes is for you to say ‘deliver’. What’s good about VoiceBot is that you can assign totally unrelated words for the skills or commands so that you won’t risk triggering them by accident while talking with your team.

If you’ve never created a macro or used any kind of voice activation software before, don't worry, VoiceBot is a cinch to use. It’s as straightforward as they get. Moreover, the app comes with a long list of pre-made command profiles for all the popular games in which this kind of functionality is relevant.

Additional good news is that you can edit those to fit your needs. You can add new categories, remove macros and even export and share them with your friends. VoiceBot is really an intuitive product, and that’s just one of the many advantages it has.

Now, you can’t expect the app to work perfectly because you do have to master the art of pronunciation. There’s no point to it all if you say ‘skill 4’ and it understands ‘steal from’. VoiceBot has some issues in this aspect, but it’s all about how you say things. With a bit of practice, it might be just what you need to improve your gameplay.
