Voice Recognition - An enhancement for the in-game chat

[Skeletonlord]

I logged in game earlier today and found out that Pocket Legends has not adopted the "Voice Recognition" feature. This, allows you to speak a phrase or word into your smartphone or tablet and the game will automatically write your message into the chat menu. This would be a really good idea for players who often type a lot of words or characters. I know that we have a save message area (Loadout), but you are manually typing it all out, while with voice recognition you can speak into your phone and it comes out for you.

This will also be very useful for foreign players that only speak a certain language.

What do you think of my idea? Extremely sorry if already suggested, but I feel it needs a mention,

Cheers, Skeletonlord (Your friendly player)

Actually....
on my samsung galaxy S2 skyrocket...
it already has the feature on the device( not PL itslelf)..
This feature is implemented in the android keyboard..

Voice recognition is built into most android keyboards. Works perfect on SwiftKey 3

So android has this feature, but let's talk iOS. I am perfectly sure iOS does not have this. Maybe in general, but I've never seen it for Pocket Legends. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Its something which would have to be implemented into the ios keyboard. I doubt STS has the software to put it into the game. Talk to Apple about voice recognition.

My iPhone 4S has voice recognition, not for PL, but in general yes. So Apple DOES have it...

Ohhhhh that would be nice!

[Mothwing]

Can we not -_- I'd like my favorite game not to go all high-tech with these "useful" gadgets. What the heck would you need it for anyway?

[Mothwing]

Ohhhhh that would be nice!

Please list the situations that you would use it in. I don't see how this could possibly help my life, in wait, a videogame?!

The voice recognition for Itouch 4th gen is horrible. The only IOS device this would work on is the Iphone4S

If you download the app Dragon Dictation or Dragon Go you'll see voice recognition COULD work really well on an iPod touch! I don't think voice recognition should really be added because typing is a good skill to have and get better at.

I'll try it out... The voice control (from holding down the home button) doesn't work very well on my device, along with the dictionary,com voice search.

No kidding!

Voice recognition works fine in PL on my iPad (latest version).

[ImHawk]

I agree with Moth..
I personally dont have trouble just typing it all up...

If I use voice recogiton...people would think I'm crazy talking to myself.. 0.o

What version is that? 5.1.1? That is the newest and I cannot find that setting on my iPod 4G. Is it a iPad-only thing?

Hold down the home button for about 3 seconds then release.

Woops, I'm thinking of voice commands in general for the Itouch4G, not in PL .

Yeah, it's 5.1.1 and only works on latest iPad and iPhone 4S.

On iPad there's a little microphone button in the lower left on my keyboard. I just need to press it and say what I need. It doesn't work very well for me though, cause I'm no native English speaker. It doesn't work too well with my accent.

I'll post a screenshot in a bit, I'm using my iPhone 4 at the moment.


Edit: screenshots below...

Following screenshot shows what you get when you press the microphone button...




Next screenshot shows the purple dots in the text field, meaning it's recognizing what you just said...

ahhhh... proof proof..
tho.. who really uses this?
I think this is pretty much useless feature ..

[Mothwing]

It would take me half the time to physically use my fingers and type it.
