Warm greetings from mobygames newbie,

pls help me find games that have speech recognition and with which player must listen and speak to do all or most of the interaction with game.

its for use with PC and windows platforms, directly down-loadable, or on cd or DVD disk or digital card.

playable by one player only, or one or more.

tyvm,

kind regards,

elbe

I think that the general genre you'd want to have your eyes on is "audiogames", though even most of those aren't as restrictive as your criteria. I know there are lots of blind gamers who dictate to text adventure games, read out loud to them in response.

The only game that comes to mind that is somewhat like this is LifeLine but that's PS2 only.

I think Star Trek: Bridge Commander had a speech recognition mode, but it was entirely optional.

To my knowledge Virtual Corporation can be played completely with the microphone and speech input. But it sucks pretty bad.

The first thing that came to mind were the voice command mods in the newer Silent Hunter games, looking a bit around lead me to this little program, haven't tried it out myself, but I suppose you could play around with it, see what games work with it.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X uses voice commands extensively to issue commands to your troops.

You probably mean EndWar, as I don't think you command troops in H.A.W.X. But that one has voice recognition, too.

Right, I was confusing the two.

WOW - the knowledge of the Moby community is as vast as the plains. :o)

Is there a game group for games that have built-in voice interaction? Can't find any.

Don't think so. Care to create one?

Thinking about it, we have the input device "Microphone" already in place.

But it's not used very much, for Windows there are 3 games tagged currently, for DOS none (or Microphone is missing there), Nintendo DS has 80 games.

An early example: Echelon. Rather primitive, obviously. Sound detection doubles as the fire button, so the idea was saying "Fire!", "Lasers away!", etc. But there's no voice recognition as such, you can shout anything you want into the microphone.
