Guide to downloading, installing, and setting up My Voice Controller

[stepp94]

Alright, so I've seen a few (outdated) posts on how to setup My Voice Controller (or some variation or the program) around the site, but I've yet to see a complete guide on how to 1) Setup the program and it's prerequisites, 2) Setup WoW for use with My Voice Controller, and 3) Write your first script... so I decided to write one! Enjoy!

Section 1... Downloading and installing My Voice Controller and the prerequisites

1. Download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
2. Download and install the Microsoft Speech API (skip this step if you’re running Vista)
3. Download and install AutoIt v3
4. Finally, download and install the latest MVC version of My Voice Controller

Section 2... Setting up WoW for use with My Voice Controller

1. Download and install the BindPad addon or any other keybinding addon you wish to use

After installing BindPad/your keybinding addon, log in to the game and bind every spell, macro, item etc to a key or a key with a modifier key such as ALT, CTRL, or SHIFT. According to your voice commands, these will be the keys which My Voice Controller simulates when called upon. I usually bind all of my primary attacks, items (such as your Hearthstone, mount, etc), spell macros, and anything else I find I may need when using My Voice Controller. Here's a screenshot of my BindPad GUI and a screenshot of my actionbars.

Once you've finished setting up your keybindings, move on to the next section...

Section 3... Writing your first My Voice Controller profile/script

My voice Controller uses .MVC files to associate voice commands with keybindings. Setting up a .MVC file is fairly simple once you get the hang of it. Essentially, all profiles/scripts will follow the below format...

!FORMAT=|(:)

#COMMANDS
<VOICE COMMAND>|(FUNCTION:KEY)

So, for example, if you wanted to bind the words "icy touch" to key "ALT+1", "plague strike" to key "SHIFT+1", "heart strike" to key "CTRL+1", and "death grip" to key "T" the code would look like this...

!FORMAT=|(:)

#COMMANDS
icy touch|(sendtext:%1)
plague strike|(sendtext:+1)
heart strike|(sendtext:^1)
death grip|(sendkey:t)

As you can see, "%" denotes the modifier key "ALT", "^" denotes "CTRL", and "+" denotes "SHIFT." "sendtext" must be used for keys with modifiers whereas you can simply use "sendkey" for keys without modifiers. Below is a list of commands I use for my Death Knight...

!FORMAT=|(:)

#COMMANDS
chains|(sendtext:+t)
grip|(sendkey:t)
plague strike|(sendkey:1)
icy touch|(sendkey:2)
heart strike|(sendkey:3)
death strike|(sendkey:4)
blight|(sendkey:q)
coil|(sendkey:f)
interrupt|(sendkey:x)

army|(sendtext:%a)
ghoul|(sendtext:%r)
horn|(sendtext:%h)

mount|(sendtext:%m)
path|(sendtext:%f)
flying mount|(sendtext:+m)
eat|(sendtext:+f)
hearth|(sendtext:+h)
death gate|(sendtext:%d)

Alright, that's the basics. There's MUCH more you can do with this program, but unfortunately I don't have time to cover it all right now. If wish to see more, please visit the online help file/documentation to see all that you can do with this program. Once you understand the basics which I've shown you above you'll be able to understand the more advanced stuff.

Good luck!

So I suppose no one found this useful? Meh, oh well. :P

why someone would even use this =/

why someone would even use this =/

I've used a program very similar to this before.

Comes in handy when grinding with 2 accounts, I used the voice to control my pocket healer.

Next time they bump the level cap I'll be using this again.

Edit nice guide btw, rep.

I think it would have gotten a better response in the Guide section imo.

As was stated above, I use it for controlling either my death knight or my druid so I can both heal and dps at the same time. Useful for battlegrounds as you basically just setup commands for follow, assist, etc etc.
