Voice controlled keyboard action

JLNJobair · May 13, 2022

I am a handicapped person and also a graphic designer. I can barely move my hands. I do my work with the help of a higher sensitive mouse and on-screen keyboard. Also, I can't use my right-click on the mouse (I use software for that) as my only finger is active. I have to use my screen keyboard for pretty much any actions like typing, copy, paste, undo, etc. Whenever I am on a big project (especially copy-paste ones), it takes a lot of time doing those commands (like, Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V) with on-screen keyboard... It gives me a lot of hassle...

So, I am looking for a software that can trigger those keyboard actions by voice. Like if I say copy, the command should be converted to virtually press the 'Ctrl' and 'C' buttons on keyboard. Also same for other actions such as paste, undo etc. I believe there is a certain software that must be available. I just need someone to introduce it to me... That would be help of a lifetime... THANKS!!!

(I wrote all of it with screen keyboard...)

I'm currently not at home right now so I can't test this out, but a quick Google search leads me to believe that you could use AutoHotkey to trigger the keyboard commands: https://www.autohotkey.com/

There's an add-on called HotVoice that lets you use speech recognition to trigger these commands with your voice: https://github.com/evilC/HotVoice

Apparently windows 11 has a new feature built in called voice control. It's not the old voice to text but actual control over the PC, including copy paste, but also much more. Sounds like it could really help you...if it works of course!
