Who's ready to go full nerd?

I am and I wont go back If you have vista/windows 7, check this out (lifted most from forums)

Important notes:

Combinations dont seem to work (e.g. CTRL+2) - for these, I keybind F2 / CRLF+2, F3 / CTRL+3 etc. "Special" keys I use are:

{UP}
{DOWN}
{LEFT}
{RIGHT}
{F1}

ive also attached a screenie of my macro list to give you an idea - yelling "Emergency Power to Shields" at the thing is fun, but not as much as "RAMMING SPEED!"

There are 4 things you will need:
Windows Vista / Windows 7
Windows Speech Recognition software (pre-installed on Vista / 7)
Windows speech Recognition macros. (Download here)
Standard voice Headset (A boom mic will work, but I am not sure how well)

A powered mic is said to be the best for speech. I use a Xbox PC controller with the standard plug in headset for it. I think the Xbox mic is considered powered.

If you have never used WSR go to Start-Programs-Accessories-Ease of Access and Windows Speech Recognition. You need to have your mic ready because you will need to complete a 10-15 minute voice training. If you try and rush through it you will have poor results with you voice commands.

After completing training you can install the WSRM and two new icons in the system tray.

The purpose of the WSRM, by the way, is so that you can create custom voice commands. So instead of saying the actual key required to execute the command you can create your on command. Here are a few I have.
“Red Alert” = Power to weapons
“Raise Shields” = Power to Shields
“Engage” = Full Impulse

Now right click on the WSRM icon in the system tray and choose New speech macro. Click on “Send Keystrokes”. Enter the text you want to say and the keystroke command below. Notice the difference between function keys and alpha-numeric keys as listed in the examples. You should keep you command as short as possible.

Click Create and you done. With one caveat…..

If you are speaking Klingon or techno babble you will need to train the WSR to understand the new phrase. (Yes I said if you are speaking Klingon.) To do this Right Click on the WSR icon and choose “Open the speech dictionary” then add new word. Type in the word and click next.
In the next window make sure to check Record a pronunciation upon finish, click finish and record your word.
