All FAQs Help center

Do I need a webcam?

No. Voice commands use your microphone. A webcam is needed only if you also use face gestures or head movement.

Are the example commands already set up?

No. You choose the phrase and its output. Match the output to your game’s bindings: for example, “jump” can press Space in a game that uses Space to jump.

Can I hold a button by speaking?

Use toggle to hold an action: say the command once to press and again to release. You can also choose a timed press.

How can I make commands easier to recognize?

Choose short, distinct phrases in your selected language. Reduce background speech and check the recognition feedback.

Are voice commands free?

Yes. Free includes voice commands and all current control methods, with one editable profile and no time limit. An account and internet connection are required.
