Looking for voice control software for fast paced gaming
Hi there, im super new to the community as i've only just joined today. Im looking for advice from users more knowledgable than myself regarding voice control software for gaming. For example is there any out there you can use to control the whole entirety of a game? Which ones are the best to use? Easiest to use and config? The trouble is I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy so I lack any strength in my hands and fingers to operate keyboards/controllers. Even a mouse can be challenging as my condition becomes more progressive. Also advice on external hardware would be appreciated.

I've had success with Voice Attack (https://voiceattack.com). Fairly easy to customize commands.
Thanks for the reply I will look into VoiceAttack and give it a try.
I’ve used voice attack as well. Would be acceptable for turn based games. I would think it would be difficult in fast paced stuff
Its worth a try I suppose, thanks for the suggestion. Seems VA is the most popular.
I currently cannot use my hands either because of my condition. About a month ago I ordered the quadstick. It hasn't gotten here yet but I feel like it was my best bet and greatest hope to enjoy gaming again with no hands.
It should be here this coming week . It's a little pricey but it's worth it if you like gaming . I look at as a lifetime investment of something that might save me from killing myself.
I'm also going to look into some of the voice command stuff To maybe use in combination with it.
I've done tons of research and that was the only conclusion. . Definitely look into it and let me know if you figure anything out with the voice stuff. Hoping that you feel better soon🙏🏽
Let me know how the quadstick works out for you. I had heard of the quadstick before but it wasn't something I knew much about until quite recently. I think I will have to invest in one also as it looks the most efficient I have seen so far.
Just going to leave this here -

I haven’t tried it myself, but take a look at Enable Play. Tho it looks like you need to order a product to be able to use it, but might be worth a look: https://enabledplay.com/apps/
